Question

What is the equation of a line that passes through (5, 3) and (-5, 3)?

Answer 1

First find the slope, remember the slope is "rise over run", or \[(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\]

Once you know the slope, plug it into the point slope formula and solve for y.

The point slope formula is:
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

Where "m" is the slope, and y1 and x1 are the coordinates of a point on the line.
