In two or more complete sentences, describe how to graph the following equation. In your description, include the slope and both the x- and y-intercepts of the line.
y=2

Question

kittybasil · Answer

When we have only $y=A$ with "A" being a random number, it is a horizontal line. This is because we are viewing a linear function in slope-intercept form, or$$y=mx+b$$Here, $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. The reason that you don't see the values for $mx$ is because the slope for a horizontal line is zero. As a result, if you were to write the whole thing out it would be$$y=0x+2$$Since 0 multiplied by anything is 0, you can just take that part out entirely. And for the x-intercept part, there aren't any x-intercepts because the line only goes through 1 single y-intercept without ever touching the x-axis. Hope that helped! :)
