Well to find the equation of a line you need the slope of the line and a point on the line. We were given two points so we're set there now we just need to find the slope of the line between the two given points. The formula for the slope of a line is m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29. Now we can just plug points into the formula and calculate.
m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29
m=%286-6%29%2F%285-0%29
m=0%2F5=0
So since we have zero slope the equation of the line is y = 6.
