OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Is it a horizontal line?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Standard form is Ax+By=C

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

But as it's a horizontal line, what will the slope be? \[m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } \] here is the slope formula

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Is the slope 0?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Your equation will be consistent as it's a horizontal line, meaning y = some constant

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

So the slope is...

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Next step after finding the slope?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Please, |dw:1451711142271:dw| all your points will have a y value of 6. Your line is consistent and therefore your equation is just a constant.
