If a line has a slope of 0, it means that it is a horizontal line. The slope (m) of a line is the ratio of the rise (change in y) to the run (change in x). A slope of 0 means that there is no change in y, regardless of the change in x, which means the y-coordinate for all points on the line is constant.
Given the point (-5, 4) and a slope of 0, the equation of the line is simply the y-coordinate of the given point, because all points on the line will have the same y-coordinate, which is 4.
Thus, the equation of the line is:
y = 4
What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,4) and has a slope of 0?
