Question

What is the equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (1, 14)?

y = 1

y = 14

x = 1

x = 14

Answer 1

Please explain the anwser. I tried it and then got an anwser that was even one Of the choices

Answer 2

A horizontal line has the same y for all values of x

(1, 14) has a value of y = 14

Therefor the line passing through the point is
y = 14

Answer 3

Well, first, y=/=1, and x =/= 14. The ordered pair is (x=1, y=14)
Second, the slope could be infinitely many unless you give us a second point to work from.

Answer 4

A horizontal line has zero slope.
So in y = mx + b, m = 0.

Now plug in the point.
14 = 0(1) + b
14 = b

So y = 0x + 14.

or, more accurately,

y = 14

Answer 5

Horizontal-wise, that means that y will always = 14, so Nurali has it

Answer 6

Ohhh okay I get it thanks
