Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,3) and (−9,3). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.

Answer 1

Use the ordered points give to calculate the slope, m

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

It does NOT matter which point you make P₁ and P₂, the slope will be the same

I will take P₁ = (-4, 3) and P₂ = (-9, 3)

So m =( 3- 3) /(-9 - (-4)) = 0 / (-9 + 4) = 0

Since the slope is zero the line is horizontal with y=3

Hope this helps...

Answer 2

y=3.

It's a horizontal line, because the y coordinates of both points are the same.

y = (0)x +3 with slope =0 and y intercept = 3
