Question

Is the line for the equation y = 1 horizontal or vertical? What is the slope of this line? Select the best answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option a) The line is horizontal. The slope is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an equation of a line

$y=1$

Compare this with slope intercept form equation

$y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y intercept

The given equation is

$y=0(x)+1$

Hence slope =0 so the line is horizontal.

Out of the given four options

The line is horizontal. The slope is 0.

Answer 2

Answer:

slope 0, equation y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Think: every point on this line features 1 as the y value.  Thus, the line must be horizontal, and its equation is y = 1.  The slope is 0.  (First answer choice)
