Question 665540: Explain how to find the equation of the line passing through (2,5) that is parallel to the line passing through the points (-3,-2) and (4,-2)

The slope of the line passing through (-3,-2) and (4,-2) is:
m = (-2 - -2)/(4- -3) = 0
Parallel lines have the same slope. So the line we want has slope 0, and passes through (2,5).
So the equation of the line is y=5
