Q. Write the equation of the line that passes through the points

(0,-8)

and

(-4,-8)

. Put your answer in fully simplified point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.

\newline

Answer:

Determine Line Type: Determine if the line is vertical, horizontal, or neither. To determine this, we look at the $y$ -coordinates of the two points. If the $y$ -coordinates are the same, the line is horizontal. If the $x$ -coordinates are the same, the line is vertical. If neither are the same, the line is neither horizontal nor vertical. Points: $(0,-8)$ and $(-4,-8)$ Since the $y$ -coordinates are the same ( $-8$ ), the line is horizontal.
Write Equation: Write the equation of a horizontal line. $\newline$ For a horizontal line, the $y$ -coordinate remains constant. Therefore, the equation of the line is simply $y$ equals the constant $y$ -coordinate. $\newline$ Equation: $y = -8$
