Question

passes through (-1,-10),Parallel to y=7

Answer 1

A line parallel to y=7 would need to be a horizontal line as well. What would the horizontal line going through (-1,-10) be?

Answer 2

i wasn't in class to learn any of this. so i'm cluless to be hoest

Answer 3

honest*

Answer 4

ok well do you know what the graph of y=7 looks like?

Answer 5

yea

Answer 6

ok, so the 7 means that the line always has a y value of 7 no matter what the x value is.

If you drew a horizontal line through the point (-1,-10) what would your equation look like? (it would be very similar to y=7)

Answer 7

but its saying to write the equation of the line in slope intercept form

Answer 8

yeah, y=7 is in slope intercept form. It really means y=0x+7. Since a horizontal line has a slope of 0. They just left that part out because 0 times anything is 0.

Answer 9

so imagine what the y-intercept would be after drawing a horizontal line through (-1,-10)

A hint is that when you draw a horizontal line though (-1,7) you get a y-intercept of 7 and an equation of y=0x+7
