You can put this solution on YOUR website!

a slope-intercept equation for a line:
y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is y-intercept

if line passes through (8, 6) and (-6,+6), use them to find a slope first:
m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29
m=%286-6%29%2F%28-6-8%29
m=0%2F%28-14%29
m=0=> Note: A zero slope is just the slope of a horizontal line! The y-coordinate never changes no matter what the x-coordinate is! It will always be equal to 6.

so, your equation is: y=6
