Question

Write the equation of a line that includes the point (4, –2) and has a slope of 0 in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Final answer: y=0x-2, which is y=-2

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line.

$y=mx+b$

The point slope form of a line is

$(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$

where, m is slope of the line.

It is given that the slope of a line is 0 and it passes through the point (4,-2). So the point slope form of a line is

$y-(-2)=0(x-4)$

$y+2=0$

Subtract 2 from both the sides.

$y+2-2=0-2$

$y=-2$

The equation of line is y=-2. Therefore the correct option is 1.
