Question

Write an equation of the line through (6,-5) having slope 0. Give the answer in standard form.

Answer 1

0x + 1y = -5 is the standard form of equation

Solution:

Given that we have to write the equation of line passing thorugh (6, -5) and has slope 0

The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c ---------- eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given that, m = 0

Given point is (6, -5)

To find the y - intercept:

Substitute (x, y) = (6, -5) and m = 0 in eqn 1

-5 = 0(6) + c

c = -5

Substitute c = -5 and m = 0 in eqn 1

y = 0x + (-5)

y = -5

The standard form of equation is given as:

The standard form of an equation is Ax + By = C

In this kind of equation, x and y are variables and A, B, and C are integers

y = -5

0x + 1y = -5 is the standard form of equation
