3y = 18 We want to get it in the form y = mx + b Divide both sides by 3 to solve for y 3y = 18 y = 6 Now there is no "mx" term but we can insert "0x" without changing the value, so we do that: y = 0x + 6 Now we can compare that with y = mx + b and we see that m = 0, so the slope is 0. That means the line is horizontal:Edwin
