| Question 674100:  Write an equation of the line given the following.
 Point slope: y-y1=m(x-x1) Slope Intercept: y=mx+b
 through (5,-8), m=0
 I got y= -8, because when you distribute x1, the slope would be just zero.
 but I don't know if I'm supposed to use the method; leave, change, change.
 for y-(-8)
 Help, please?

      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y - -8 = 0(x-5) y + 8 = 0
 y = -8
 This is the equation for the line.  It is a horizontal line through the y axis
 at -8.  All x values will be on the line, but the y value will only be -8.
 ...
 Since the line has no rise, but only run (slope is rise/run), the slope is 0.
