Question

Find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form parallel to y=-3 passing through the coordinate (2,6)

Answer 1

The line y =-3 is a horizontal

line. A horizontal line has a

slope (m) equal to 0. The y

intercept (b) is -3.

A line parallel to y=-3

also has a slope of 0.

if that line passes through

(2,6), it has a y intercept (b)

of 6.

Slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

However, since m is 0 for

all values of x here, can

write the equation as

y=b or y=6 in this instance.
