Question 1186978: The given two points lie on either a horizontal or vertical line. Find the equation of the line. Your answer must be an equation, for example, x=2 or y=23 .
(−56.83,−15),(−62.83,−15)

since the y-value is the same in both points, then the line has to be horizontal.

your equation is y = -15.

the two x-values of -56.83 and -62.83 are both on that line.

here's what the graph looks like.



in facts, since the line is horizontal, all values of x will intersect with it at y = -15.
