How do you find the equation of the line that satisfies the given condition #(-11/12, -11/10)# and slope 0?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

#y= -11/10# is the equation.

Any line that has a slope = 0, is a horizontal line. There is no vertical change as you move along the line.

The y-values of a horizontal line stay the same. The line only crosses the y-axis at one point, called they-intercept.

In this case, the given condition has one point.

The y-value is #y = -11/10# This is 'c'

Substitute the slope and tthe y-intercept into the equation of a straight line: #y = mx +c#

#y = (0)x -11/10#

#y= -11/10# is the equation.

The equation of the line with a slope of 0 that passes through the point (-11/12, -11/10) is y = -11/10.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
