I need help on how to write an equation of a line parallel to one of the lines in slope intercept form that contains the point 1,-3

OpenStudy (misty1212):
what is the slope of your line? you didn't say so no one can answer it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Its 0/7
OpenStudy (diamondboy):
so m= 0?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
" parallel to one of the lines " what line?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\(\frac{0}{7}\) is \(0\) but that is not the line necessarily
what is the line you are given?

There are two lines. And I know theyre parallel because I used the slope formula on them. They both have a slope of 0/7.
OpenStudy (misty1212):
can you explain how you know that ? are they horizontal?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Line 1: P(10,14) R(17,14)
Line 2: Q(10,8) L(17,8)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
They are horizontal
OpenStudy (diamondboy):
k now u are talking

then the equation is \(y=number\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you want me to show a picture?
OpenStudy (diamondboy):
probably dat would help
OpenStudy (misty1212):
no need
OpenStudy (misty1212):
point is \((1,-3)\) and y is a number
what number is it?

Im not sure. Would it be -3?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
yes it would
OpenStudy (misty1212):
well actually \(y=-3\) as it is the equation of a line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok

Thank you! @misty1212
OpenStudy (misty1212):
you are welcome dear
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Im sorry to keep bothering you, but how did you know that the equation is y= a number? @misty1212
OpenStudy (misty1212):
because that is what the equation of any horizontal line is
the slope of a horizontal line is 0
if you write \[y=0x+b\] your teacher will think you are an idiot, just write \(y=b\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OHHHH I GET IT! Ok lol thanks again @misty1212
