Find the standard form of the equation of the line with slope=0, passing throught the point (-8,5)
\n" ); document.write( "Lines with slopes of 0 are horizontal lines in which the y coordinates are all the same. They are always the equation $\"highlight%28y=k%29\"$ . Where k is that never changing y value. In this case:
\n" ); document.write( "y=5
\n" ); document.write( "It's a special case worth memorizing.
\n" ); document.write( "Otherwise you can use the point slope formula $\"highlight%28y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29%29\"$ , where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "(x1,y1)=(-8,5) m=0
\n" ); document.write( "y-5=0(x-(-8))
\n" ); document.write( "y-5=0
\n" ); document.write( "y-5+5=0+5
\n" ); document.write( "y=5 The hard way.
