What is anequation of the line that passes through the points (-3, 8) and (-7,8)?
1 answer:
The equation of a line is given by the expression:
y=Mx + b
This is the slope form of an equation where M is the gradient of line and b is the y intercept.
For the slope, M= change in y values/ change is x values
(-3,8) , (-7,8) thus the slope m,=(8-8)/(-7--3)
m=0/-4 =0
the slope is 0
To find the b substitute the values in the equation y=Mx+b
Taking point (-3,8) and slope of 0
y=Mx+b
8=0*(-3) + b
8=0+b
8=b
The value of b is 8
The equation of the line will be;
The equation of the line is y=8

Answer:
Option (d) is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is:
- rise over run
- The rate of change of a line
- Change in y over the change in x
- <em><u>The ratio of vertical change to the horizontal change. </u></em>
It can be given by mathematically as follows :
Hence, the option which is not a description of slope is (d) "the ratio of horizontal change compared to vertical change"
