what is the equation of a line with no slope and passes through the point (-3,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

Parth (parthkohli):

No slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

None

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, well... 0 slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

Parth (parthkohli):

We already know what the slope is 0. The standard equation is \(y = mx + b\) Already got \(m = 0\)\[y = 0x + b \]0x is just nothing.\[y = b \]y-intercept will be y when \(x\) is 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so y=5 right?

Parth (parthkohli):

By the way, 0 slope means that \(x\) never changes. Since \(x\) never changes, we have -3 as \(x\) always.\[ y = 5\]

Parth (parthkohli):

That is correct!

Okay! Got it! Thanks!
