Question

how would I write an equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (2, 8)?

Answer 1

the equation for a horizontal line looks like \(y=number\)

Answer 2

what is the number in this case?

Answer 3

y=8?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

these are good to remember..
HOY -- horizontal line, 0 slope, represented by y = a number
VUX -- vertical line, undefined slope, represented by x = a number

Answer 6

awesome thanks!
so the answer is just y=8?

Answer 7

YES

Answer 8

K thank you guys very much!

Answer 9

yes..although I guess you could write it like this... y = 0x + 8

Answer 10

would either way be right?

Answer 11

I think so....I, myself, would probably just write y = 8

Answer 12

k awesome thank you!

Answer 13
