Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (-5, 1).

Question

I got y=1. is that right?

Answer 1

Yes it is.

 

 

A horizontal line has a slope of zero.  Therefore, the equation of a horizontal line is written in the form

 

y = b

 

where b is the y-coordinate the line passes through.

Answer 2

Yes, you got it correct!
