Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 7) and has a slope of zero

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 7 is the equation of the line that passes through the point ( -2, 7 ) and has a slope of zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let,

A ≡ ( x1 , y1 ) ≡ ( -2, 7 )

Slope = m = 0

To Find :

Equation of Line:

Solution:

Formula for , equation of a line passing through a point (  x1 , y1 ) and having a slope m is given by

$(y - y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$

Now substituting the values of x1 = -2 and y1 = 7 and slope m = 0 we get,

$y-7=0\times(x--2) \\y-7=0\times (x+2)\\y-7=0\\\therefore y=7$

Which is the required equation of a line passing through the point ( -2, 7 ) and slope zero
