The slope of the line is given by:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-8 - (-8)) / (7 - (-8))
m = 0 / 15
m = 0
Since the slope is 0, the line is horizontal and can be written in the form:
y = b
To find the value of b, plug in one of the points:
-8 = b
Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:
y = -8
