Find the​ slope-intercept equation of the line that has the given characteristics.

Slope 0 and​ y-intercept ​(0,8​)

1 answer

When the slope of a line is 0, it means that the line is horizontal. Since the y-intercept is given as (0, 8), we know that the line passes through the point (0, 8).

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, the slope is 0 and the y-intercept is 8, so the equation of the line is:

y = 0x + 8

Simplifying, we get:

y = 8
