Question 263441: how do you graph the equation y = -8/5 using the slope and y-intercept method? Found 2 solutions by richwmiller, drk:Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! this is a horizontal line at y=-8/5
and x can be anything
the slope is zero
y is always -8/5
so when x=0 y=-8/5
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Normally we want
where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
in our example we have
which means
or m = 0 and b = -8/5.
to graph
first plot -8/5 on the y-axis.
second move up 0 and over 1 (rise / run) and place a dot.
connect the dots to find a long horizontal line.
