an equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:
where is a slope and is a y-intercept
The horizontal line has ( constant) for every value of .
since a horizontal line, in your case, passing through (,), the equation is .
The slope of a horizontal line is , therefore, your equation in slope-intercept form will be:
