Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−8,7) and has a slope of 0?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: y=7x+22

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula states: (y−y1)=m(X−X1)

Where m is the slope and (X1,y1) is a point the line passes through.

Substituting the values from the point and the slope given in the problem allows us to write an equation for this line as: (y−8)=7(X−−2) which then simplifies to (y−8)=7(X+2)

We can also solve for y to put this equation into slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value.

y−8=(7×X)+(7×2) -which then simplifies to-: y−8=7x+14

y−8+8=7x+14+8

y−0=7x+22

Answer: y=7x+22
