Referring to the figure, write the equation of the horizontal line through the point (0,3). http://www.ppstest2.com/images2/AL5005.jpg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you can help me solve it that would be nice

@mathmath333 @inkyvoyd @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

horizontal line does have slope >??????????/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well my book says the equation is y=b

Nnesha (nnesha):

@inkyvoyd i'm like why there is space between our two pic

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so what is your y-intercept

Nnesha (nnesha):

y-intercept which is always on y-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im guessing 3

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

omg, when x=0 what does y=? how about when x=1? x=2? x=3?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

Omg as in your name....

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes because its touching y-axis at 3

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

not an exclamation of annoyance... should have thought of that

Nnesha (nnesha):

so y = 3 that sit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be y=3

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what about this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same pic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Referring to the Fig. in Question #19, write the equation of the horizontal line through the point (3,0).

Nnesha (nnesha):

well that is not horizontal line

Nnesha (nnesha):

that is vertical line :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it says to make it a horizontal line

Nnesha (nnesha):

what is your question again ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Referring to the Fig. in Question #19, write the equation of the horizontal line through the point (3,0).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be y=0

Nnesha (nnesha):

that is vertical line which is not touching y-axis

Nnesha (nnesha):

for horizontal line y = b where b is y-intercept

Nnesha (nnesha):

it should be like x = 3

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

it is referring to the x axis in that case

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

a horizontal line does exist through (3,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i have to do it as a horizontal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmath333

Nnesha (nnesha):

do you have answer choices ????????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i put y=0

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

yes, you are correct, omg, it is the x axis that the question is asking for.

Nnesha (nnesha):

but that is not horizontal line ????/ doesn't make sense

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

the x axis is a horizontal line....

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

also, a horizontal line has a slope of zero, it is not nonexistent

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1415600946820:dw| if we forget about other line and like this then make sense y= 0
