ANSWER: y=8

Answer 1

@nikato

Answer 2

need the step n how to expain it

Answer 3

So a horizontal line has the equation

\[\large y = \]

Now this is true because it will ALWAYS have a y-intercept...but never an x-intercept...seen by looking at y = 1 for example



it goes through the y-axis at y = 1

Answer 4

So for example...since as you can see the horizontal line will ONLY go through 1 point on the y-axis...it needs to be at the point in your coordinate

(-8 , 8)

Means this point is at -8 on the x-axis...and at 8 on the y-axis....so since we can only go through 1 point on the y-axis...we need to make that point 8



and that line is indeed \(\large y = 8\)

Answer 5

You are indeed correct @samantha1995 its that equation
