The equation for the line that passes through the point (-5,2) and that is parallel to the line with the equation y= 1

Answer 1

y = 1 is a horizontal line

The line parallel is a horizontal line through (-5, 2).

The equation of that line is y = 2

Answer 2

If a line is parallel to another line, then the slopes are equal. the slopes of y = 1 is 0. This is a horizontal line so the line parallel will also be horizontal. The horizontal line through (-5,2) would be y = 2
