You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"+y+=+0+\"$ is the x-axis
\n" ); document.write( "so, the line you need nust be horizontal
\n" ); document.write( "( the slope, $\"+m+\"$ is zero )
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+0%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The line must go through ( 2, -5 )
\n" ); document.write( "Plug this point into $\"+y+=+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-5+=+b+\"$ , so now you have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "( note that this is a horizontal line, the same as the x-axis )\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
