solve for (a) and (b) ### Problem Description:Write an equation in two forms: standard form (a) and slope-intercept form (b) for the line described.**Given:**- The line passes through the point (5,7).- The line is parallel to the line given by y = -9.### Tasks:1. **(a) The equation of the line in standard form:** - Provide the equation in standard form. - Input your answer in the provided text box in standard form.2. **(b) Convert the same equation into slope-intercept form:** - Provide the equation in slope-intercept form.### Step-by-Step Solution:#### 1. Understanding the problem:- Since the line is parallel to y = -9, it has the same slope. This line is a horizontal line where y always equals -9, regardless of the value of x.- Therefore, any line parallel to y = -9 will also be a horizontal line with the same slope (slope = 0) but passing through a different y-coordinate.#### 2. Finding the equations:- To find the equation of the line passing through the point (5, 7) and parallel to y = -9, we notice that it's a horizontal line where y = 7 for all x-values.**(a) Standard Form:**- For a horizontal line, the standard form is simply y = [constant].- Here, y = 7. In standard form, this can be written as: \[ \boxed{0x + 1y = 7} \]**(b) Slope-Intercept Form:**- The given form of the line y = 7 is already in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept). In this case, the slope (m) is 0, and the intercept (b) is 7. \[ \boxed{y = 7} \]
