find the equation in slope intercept form of the line with the given scope that passes through the point with the given coordinates. slope:0 ordered pair: (-8,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope-intercept form of a line...\[y=mx + b\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where m is the slope, and b is the y-axis intercept (that is, when x=0)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since the given slope m=0, automatically the line is "horizontal" or parallel with x-axis... and so, at any value x, the y value does not change... therefore our b=5...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we substitute all given values, m=0 and y=5... y = mx + b y = (0)x + 5 y = 5 // this is the line equation.... :-)
