Given:

Slope = 0

y intercept ( 0, 4 )

Determine the equation of the line.

Slope intercept form can be written as:

y = mx + b

Point slope form:

(y- y1) = m( x -x1)

Solution: 

Since we are asked to find for the equation of the line given the y intercept, we will use the point slope form equation.

x= 0, y = 4

(y- y1) = m( x -x1)

y - 4 = 0 ( x - 0)

0 multiplied by 0 is equal to 0

y - 4 = 0

Transpose -4 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign always changes.

y =4

The equation of the line is y = 4
