Write an equation for the line described. Write the equation in the form specified.
-parallel to $\mathrm { y } = - 9$, through $( 5,3 )$
A) $y = 5$
B) $y = - 9$
C) $y = 3$
D) $y = - 3$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A line parallel to $y = -9$ would have the same form, which means it does not change in x (it's horizontal). Since it passes through (5,3), the y-value for the entire line must be 3, hence $y = 3$.
