You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+y+-+6+=+1+
Add +6+ to both sides
+y+=+7+
-----------------------
Imagine yourself sitting on this line
You're at ( ? , 7 ). You notice that
where ever you move to on this line,
you're at ( ? , 7 ) . You must be moving
parallel to the x-axis in order for this to
be true. All lines parallel to the x-axis
have slope = 0
If the equation was +y+=+23729+,
the slope would still = 0
