Question

Find the general linear equation (Ax+By+C=0) of a straight line that is horizontal and that passes through (-4,-2)

Answer 1

Equation of line is:

$y+2 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is defined the rate of change of line w.r.t x. When a line is horizontal. it is parallel to x-axis which means that it's slope is equal to zero.

So the slope intercept form of equation

$y = mx+b$

become

$y = b$

Given point is: (-4,-2)

Putting the value of y in equation

$b = -2$

So the equation will become:

$y = -2$

It can also be written as:

$y+2 = 0$
