write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-1,-3) and is parallel to the graph of y=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you know about the slopes of parallel lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nothing, that is all i know, thats whyi was so confused @Brittni0605

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parallel lines have the same slope. Does that ring a bell?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh! yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so what is the slope of y=4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, draw me the line of y=4 plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait,never mind! i got it! thea answer is m=0 becausei t is parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, the slope of horizontal lines is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But your line must pass through the given point..so what is the equation?
