Question 680136: find the equation of the line that passes through (-5,1) (2,1) In the form y=mx + b.....?
step 1:m=y2-y1 1-1 0 step 2: y-y1=m(x-x1) i will use (2,1) y-1=0(x-2)
x2-x1 2-(-5) 7 7

now Im stuck ... please help me

...
0 slope means it will be a horizontal line, which is why both points have the y value as 1.
...
y - 1 = 0(x- -5)
y - 1 = 0(x+5)
y-1=0
--> this is the equation for the line
...
