find the equation of the horizontal line that contains the point (-4,8). express the equation using either the general form of the slope intercept form of the equation of a line

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]y=8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

We know that this is a horizontal line. This means that:

[tex]m=0[/tex]

Knowing that this line contains the point (-4,8) we can substitute  this coordinates and [tex]m=0[/tex] into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], and then solve for "b":

[tex]8=0(-4)+b\\\\b=8[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of this line in Slope-intercept form is:

[tex]y=(0)x+8\\\\y=8[/tex]
