Question

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through (2, 4) and (5, 4).

Answer 1

the slope is 0 because it is a straight line. so the equation should be x=4

Answer 2

(Y-Yo)=m(X-Xo)
4-4 = m(2-5)
0=-3m
m=0
y=-4 //via y=mx+b

Answer 3

sierraabel that line is y = 4 and not x = 4

x = 4 would be a vertical line at 4

Answer 4

But it is saying I need a equation in y=mx+b form

Answer 5

all horizontal lines have a slope of m = 0

Answer 6

y = 4 is the same as y = 0x + 4

m = 0

Answer 7

y = 4 is the simplified form of y = 0x+4

Answer 8

Ok thank you everyone. Y'all are so sweet.

Answer 9

We use the equation (Y-Yo)=m(X-Xo) to solve for the slope.
After we find out the slope is zero we plug into slope intercept form

y=mx+b // where b is any point on the line
y=0x+4

Answer 10

Y'all can continue posting. If ya'll got any other statements

Answer 11

Always just curious about where the confusion is and what your approach to this problem was.
