Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-5, 6) and (7, 6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

line of an equation: y = mx +c

where c is y-intercept, m is gradient and y and x are the y and x coordinates.

For finding the line of an equation we first find a gradient

gradient = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)

so; (6-6) / (7-(-5)) = 0/12 = 0

next using any pair of coordinates we will find the c (y-intercept)

6= 0 (-5) + c

c = 6

so the equation will be

y = mx + c

(add the values you just found)

y = (0)x + 6 (since anything multiplied by 0 is 0 so we can write its like;)

y = 6
