What is the equation of the line with slope 0 and passing through the point A(4, -1)

Answer 1

The best equation of a line to use for this example is point slope which is written as:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) Where y₁ is a y-coordinate, m is your slope, and x₁ is your x-coordinate.

Plug all of the given information into the point slope equation and simplify.

y - (-1) = 0(x - 4) Distribute the 0 into the parentheses and simplify the -(-1)

y + 1 = 0 Subtract 1 from both sides

y = -1 This is your equation.

Answer 2

y=-1 slope is 0 y intercept =-1
