You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of a line satisfying the given conditions:parallel to the x-axis and passes through the point (-5,-3)
.
Slope-intercept form of a line:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
.
Because the line is parallel to the x-axis the slope is 0.
this means m is 0
b is where it crosses the y-intercept (-3)
.
So, we have
y = 0x + (-3)
or
y = -3 (this is what they're looking for)
