Question

consider the following linear equation.
\\y = -9\\
step 1 of 2: identify if the given line is horizontal or vertical and give its slope.

type of line:

• horizontal
• vertical

slope:
slope:

• undefined

Explanation:

Analyze the given linear equation

Using the Horizontal Lines knowledge point

$$ y = -9 $$

Determine the type of line

Using the Horizontal Lines knowledge point
An equation of the form \(y = c\) represents a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis.
Thus, the line is Horizontal.

Calculate the slope of the line

Using the Horizontal Lines knowledge point

$$
