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
