Chapter 1.3, Problem 8CFU

To determine

To graph: equation, $y=5$ using y-intercept and the slope.

Answer to Problem 8CFU

  

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The equation is a follows:

  $y=5$ … (1)

Calculation:

The slope intercept formula is as follows:

  $y=mx+b$ … (2)

Compare (1) and (2) to get,

  $\begin{array}{l}m=0\\ b=5\end{array}$

Therefore, the horizontal line passes through $\left(0,5\right)$ .

Now, graph the coordinate $\left(0,5\right)$ as shown below.
