Question

Can you tell me how to write the equation for the horizontal line that contains point G(-8, 8)?

Answer 1

A horizontal line has no slope. So when calculating your equation of a line, you want to use point-slope form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1), where (x1,y1) is your coordinates.

So...

(y - 8) = 0 (x - (-8))

y - 8 = 0

y = 8

Now if you want to think about it, this line extends horizontal, so it runs parallel to the x-axis. It must go through that point, so it has to be y = 8 and only y = 8 for it to remain perfectly horizontal while going through that point.

Answer 2

U mean like this?
m = 0
x1 = -8
y1 = 8

y - 8 = 0(x - (-8))
y - 8 = 0
y = 8

Is that correct?

Answer 3

Yes
