A line passes through the points (


8,

13) and (11,

13). Write its equation in slope-intercept form.
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

1 answer

First, let's find the slope of the line using the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (-13 - (-13)) / (11 - (-8))
m = 0 / 19
m = 0

Since the slope is 0, the line is horizontal. The equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (a, b) is given by y = b.

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the points (-8, -13) and (11, -13) in slope-intercept form is y = -13.
