Question 82116: Please help. Thank You. Please show step by step, and these are my choices for the answer:
A)x=-6
B)x=7
C)y=-6
D)y=7
Write the equation of the line that passes through point (-6,7) with a slope of o.
Answer by checkley75(3666)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! DO YOU UNDERSTAND GRAPHING A LINE EQUATION USING THE X & Y VALUES, THE SLOPE (m) & THE Y INTERCEPT(b)?
IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THIS PROCESS I SUGGEST YOU GET SOME GRAPH PAPER AND PLOT THIS SET OF POINTS (-6,7) WHERE X=-6 & Y=7. NOW DRAYW A LINE WITH A SLOPE OF (0) WHICH IS A VERTICLE LINE THROUGH THE POINT (-6,7). NOW YOU'LL SEE THAT Y=7 NO MATTER WHAT VALUE YOU ASSIGN TO X. THEREFORE THE X VALUE IS ELIMINATED BY MULTIPLYING IT BY 0.
HOPE THIS HELPS EXPLAIN THE PROCESS.

Y=mX+b
7=0*X+b
b=7
Y=0X+7
Y=7 ANSWER IS D).
