Chapter 8.5, Problem 16WE

To determine

To find: Theequation in slope intercept form of the given line.

Answer to Problem 16WE

The equation in slope intercept form of the given lineis $y=4$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The slope is $0$ and passing throughis $\left(-5,4\right)$ .

Calculation:

The slope intercept form is,

  $y=mx+c$

Here, the slope is $m$ and $y$ intercept is $c$ .

Substitute the values in above equation.

  $y=c$ ...........(1)

Substitute the values of point through which the line is passing in above equation.

  $\begin{array}{l}4=0\left(-5\right)+c\\ 4=0+c\\ c=4\end{array}$

Substitute the value in equation (1).

  $y=4$
