Question 945565: Find the slope-intercept form of the equations described.
13) Write an equation for the line parallel to the x-axis and containing the point (2,7)
Please show me and explain each step to solve this. I am having a really hard time with these.
Thank you!

For a line that is parallel to the x-axis, the equation for such a line is:
y+=+b+ where b is some constant
if a line containing the point (2,7), as you can see y coordinate of the point is 7, and the equation for a line that is parallel to the x-axis and containing given point is
y=7
