Question

Write an equation in Slope intercept form of the line that passes through the given points (-3,4) (1,4)

Answer 1

Answer would be “y=4”

to find the answer: first you have to find the slope with the given points. (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1)

plug it in to get: (4-4 / 1- -3) = 0/4 = 0

this means the slope would be 0

if the y intercepts are the same then it usually indicates that the slope would be 0 and that the answer is the y intercept.. but if you don’t understand how to get slope-intercept using other coordinates then here’s how:

you can use point-slope formula (y-y1 = m (x-x1) in order to do this just plug in one of the coordinates. in this case an example of point-slope form would be:
y-4 = 0 (x - -3) or y-4 = 0(x-1)

it doesn’t matter which coordinates you use..

then solve the point slope for slope-intercept.

y-4 = 0(x-3) multiply 0 with x and -3
y-4 = 0x move -4 to the right by adding 4

y = 0x + 4 or y = 4 would be your answer!

Answer 2

Answer:

y=x+4

Hope this helps :)
