Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (-8,-1)(−8,−1)
Use exact numbers.
y-5=y

The equation of the line is y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation,y = mx + c, you have to find the gradient first using the formula :

Let (x1,y1) = (-8,-1) & (x2,y2) = (-8,-1),

m = (-1)-(-1)/-8-(-8)

= 0

Now, we have found the gradient, next using the formula, y = mx + c to find the equation :

y = mx + c

Let m=0,

At (-8,-1)

-1 = 0(-8) + c

c = -1

y = -1
