Find an equation for the line with the given properties.
Parallel to the line y = 8; containing the point (9, 1)
---
Parallel to y = 8 means the slope is 0.
-----------------------------------------
Form: y = mx + b
m is the slope and b is the intercept.
Equation:
1 = 0*9 + b
b = 1
---------------
Equation:
y = 1
