In the xy plane, line L is parallel to the x-axis and passes through the point (-4,-8). What is the equation of line L?
--------
Every line parallel to the x-axis has equation y = k where "k" is a constant.
------------------------------
Since the y-value of the point is y = -8
The equation passing thru the point is y = -8
