Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (−8, −7). y = −8 y = −7 x = −8 x = −7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u think?

|dw:1435325684198:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hope that help you find the answer @celest

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

So if you're going across the horizontal line, what point would that be? X or Y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think she is on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the horizontal line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be Y=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

Coordinates in ordered pairs ALWAYS go X,Y so in the coordinate pair (-8,-7) which one is the X coordinate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

Yes.. So what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or x=-8

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

Since its across the Horizontal Line it would be x = -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh thank you

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

And if you wanted to plot that it would be: |dw:1435251587670:dw| Something like this.
