Find the equation of the line through the points (5,-6) and (-4,-6).

Question

I got y=0/-9x-6 but it does not seem right.

Answer 1

y = mx + b

 

m = [-6 - (-6)]/(-4 - 5) = 0

 

m = 0 means you just have a horizontal line, whose equation is

 

y = constant = -6

 

y = (0)x - 6 = -6

 

Final equation:  y = -6
