Horizontal means zero slope, or a zero coefficient on x.

Answer: y = b

Remark

The line is horizontal. That means that the equation is y = something. There is no x value for this. If it goes through M(a,b) then what you are concerned about is b

y = b is the equation of the line you seek.

pleaseee help how do i write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 1/3 and y-intercept -3?

Answer:

y=1/3x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, or the y-value at which the line intersects the y-axis.

Your slope is 1/3, and your y-int. is -3, so substitute those values in:

y=1/3(x) - 3
