Question

G find the equation of the line (in slope intercept form) passing through the point (4,3) and parallel to the line passing through (1,2) and (4,2).

Answer 1

The points (1, 2) and (4, 2) both have the same y-value, so that is the horizontal line y = 2.

The given point has y-value of 3, so the line passing through it will be

... y = 3

_____

There is no x-term because the slope is 0. We could write it as

... y = 0x +3

but this simplifies to

... y = 3
