You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Any line that has a slope of zero is a horizontal line.
Now we are told that this line passes through the point (3,2)
so the y intercept for this line is 2
here is what it looks like on the graph:
+graph%28+300%2C+300%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+2%29+
Now since we know the slope and the y intercept we can easily write
an equation for the line in slope intercept form
Slope intercept form is:
y = mx + b
m is the slope and
b is the y intercept
so slope is zero and y intercept is 2
y = 0x + 2
now put this in standard form by moving the x and its coefficent over
y - 0x = 2
and since we know any number times zero is zero we can simply say
the equation for this line in standard form is
y = 2
