A line passes through the points (-6,-3) and (-4,-3) write its equation in slope intercept form
To find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we first need to find the slope (m) of the line.
The formula for slope (m) is given by:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the coordinates (-6, -3) and (-4, -3), we can substitute these values into the equation:
m = (-3 - (-3)) / (-4 - (-6))
Simplifying,
m = (-3 + 3) / (-4 + 6)
= 0 / 2
= 0
Since the slope is 0, the equation of the line will be in the form: y = b.
To find the value of b, we can substitute one of the points into the equation:
y = b
-3 = b
Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:
y = -3
