Algebra.Com's Answer #238478 by jrfrunner(365)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! any line with slope=0 is a flat line \n" ); document.write( "which means it is in the form: y=b \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "if you look at the slope intercept form of a line equation \n" ); document.write( "y=m*x+b , m=slope \n" ); document.write( "If m=0 then y=0*x+b=b \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "So it will include all the points which have y=b \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "In your case, since it must include the point (5,4) and its y component is 4, The line with 0 slope containing this point must be y=4 \n" ); document.write( " |
