Question

Write the equation of a line that goes through point (0,-8) has a slope of 0

Answer 1

The equation of a line that goes through point (0,-8) has a slope of 0 is $\bold{y=-8}$

Solution:

Given, the slope of line passing through (0, -8) is 0

Point- slope form of a line is $y - y_1 = m (x - x_1)$

where m is the slope; $y_1= -8 \text{ and } x_1= 0$

On substituting the values we get,

$y-(-8)=0\times x-0 \rightarrow y+8=0$

$\bold{\Rightarrow y=-8}$

Thus, the required equation is $y=-8$

Slope:

The slope of a line is a number that measures its "steepness", usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x along the line.

Answer 2

Answer:

y = x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation for slope, y = mx + b,

your slope being 0 makes the equation 'x' or 0x but x is preffered.

Your why would be -8 because there is no x in the point and it is a negative number.
