Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (−5,6) and (7, 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-5, 6) and (7, 6). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{6-6}{7-(-5)}=\dfrac{0}{12}=0$

The slope m = 0. Therefore it's a horizontal line y = a.

In the given points we have y = 6.
