Find the equation of a horizontal line that goes through the point (5, -3). Explain your answer

any horizontal line has equation y = c , where c is the y element of your given point
so
y = -3
or, the long way:
slope of a horizontal line is 0 , then
y = 0x + b
plug in the given point(5,-3)
-3 = 0(5) + b
b = -3
y = 0x - 3
y = -3
so
y = -3
or, the long way:
slope of a horizontal line is 0 , then
y = 0x + b
plug in the given point(5,-3)
-3 = 0(5) + b
b = -3
y = 0x - 3
y = -3
