Write an equation of the line that passes through (8, 3) and (4, 3).
y = 3
y = 4x + 3
y = 4
y = 3x

this time im almost certain that it is 0/4
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
So the slope is 0
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
This means you'll have a horizontal line
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
All horizontal lines look like this: y = k where k is some number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k=m right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no, m is the slope
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
but k is not 0

hu?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
look at the y coordinates of both points
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok just give me it step by easy step please

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what are they
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so because BOTH points have y = 3, the equation is simply y = 3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
since ALL points on this line have a y coordinate of 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um so the answer is y=3?

(5, 3), (10, 3), (21, 3), etc etc
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks a lot!
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
np
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah it is constant at y axis......... but it since it represents a horizontal line it will pass through all the points in horizontal axis(x-axis) jim_thompson5910 is right
