Question

Reduce the equation y + 5 = 0 to slope -intercept form, and hence find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

Answer 1

y=-5 is pararllel to x-axis $\Rightarrow$ slope =0

slope intercept form = $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{-5}=1\Rightarrow$ y-intercept = (0,-5)
