Can you help?

Can you tell me what the horizontal line looks like?  Draw a picture?

anonymous · Answer

There isn't a picture or line to go with the problem.

anonymous · Answer

What should I do?

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

can you draw the picture

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

Or can you tell me what a horizontal line is?

anonymous · Answer

Why are you helping me if you don't no what that is? (not to be rude)

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

....I do, I want you to tell me.  This is how you learn how to do the problem on your own.

anonymous · Answer

It's a straight up and down line!

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

It is not, hence why I asked

anonymous · Answer

Then left to right.

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok, let's start with reading this: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/graphlin3.htm

anonymous · Answer

Ok!

anonymous · Answer

I read it.

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

Check out the last example, based off of that, what do you think your eq is?

anonymous · Answer

I think the answer is c. Am I right?

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

Tell me your reasoning first? before I say if it is right or wrong

anonymous · Answer

Because I looked at the example and did what I tink was the right work and figured out that the point would have to be c for a slope and the other coordinate.

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

Did you look at the last example on p 3(the one linked to?)  Also, what is the slope of a horizontal line?
