Question

what is the equation of the line that has a slope of 0 and passes through the point (6,-8)

Answer 1

Y=MX+B We have our m and y&x so what does the equation look like?

Answer 2

-8=0(6)+b

Answer 3

good so you should find that b = -8

Answer 4

m = 0 is the slope of any flat horizontal line
b = -8

Answer 5

y = mx+b

y = 0*x + (-8)

y = 0x - 8

y = 0 - 8

y = -8 is the equation of the line that goes through (6,-8) and is a horizontal flat line with slope 0

Answer 6

but i thought the x was the horizontal line

Answer 7

if you had x = -8, then that is a vertical line that cuts through -8 on the x axis

Answer 8

y = -8 is the line with ALL points on it having a y coordinate of -8

the x coordinate doesn't matter

Answer 9

since b is the y intercept it would be y?

Answer 10

what do you mean?

Answer 11

b= the y-intercept so is that why it would be y=-8

Answer 12

yes because the y-intercept is the same as every other y coordinate of the points on this line
