Question

Find the line that contains the error, explain the error, and solve the problem correctly. Given a point and slope, write an equation in slope-intercept form given the following information: Point (-8,0) and slope= 0

Line 1---> y-0=0(x-(-8))

Line 2-----> y-0=0(x+8)

Line 3------> y-0=8

Line 4------> y= 8

Answer 1

slope of zero means it's a flat horizontal line, y=0 is correct

lines 3 and 4 are wrong

lines 1 and 2 are implicitly the same as y=0, and they're both equivalent.

lines 1 and 2 are correct

in slope intercept form

y=mx + b with m= slope = 0 and b = y intercept

y=(0)x + b, plug in the point to solve for b

0=(0)(-8) + b

b=0

y=(0)x + 0 is the equation in slope intercept form with m=0 and b=0, and is the same as

y=0+0=0

y=0
