Write the equation of the line through the points (1, 3), (3, 3)

Sagot :

Answer:

y  = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

P ( 1 , 3)    and  Q ( 3 , 3 )

The straight line is parallel to the x-axis since the two points have the same y.

The intercept with the y-axis is 3.

The slope-point equation for a line is:

y  = m*x + b             (1)

m is the slope and  b is the intercept with the y-axis

To calculate the slope

m =  (  y₂ -  y₁ ) /  ( x₂  -  x₁ )

m =  3 - 3 / 3 - 1          m   = 0 / 2      m  = 0

therefore, equatio (1) becomes

y  =  0*x + 3

y  = 3
