eqn of horizontal line passing through (-2, -2)

[humakhan]

What is the equation of a horizontal line that passes through the point at (-2, -2)?

i did
s = y2/x2 - y1/x1
and got
1.5
and my answer came out to be wrong HELP

 

[skeeter]

the equation of the horizontal line that passes through (a,b) is

y = b

think about why it's that easy ... :shock:

i did
s = y2/x2 - y1/x1

What is the above meant to compute...? What is "s"? This isn't even the "slope" formula. I can't guess what you're trying to do here....

Please reply with clarification, including your reasoning. Specifically, please state how you are using the fact that the line is horizontal.

Thank you.
