What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-6)(8,−6) and has a slope of 0?

A line passes through the point (8,6) and has a slope of 6 . Write an equation for this line in (x,y)-coordinates. To find the equation of a line given the slope and one point

we can use the point-slope formula

Lets make point (8,6) = (x1,y1) And m = 6 (this is the slope.) Now we just plug in the values...

Now we perform the indicated operations...

Then add 6 to both sides of the equation...

And this is the final equation. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must solve this problem using the Point-Slope Formula such that

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-8) = 0(x - 6).............Anything times 0 is 0 such that

y + 8 = 0

y = -8

I hope this helped!
