Answer:
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two points (2, −2) and (0, −2), the equation of a line containing the line can be gotten using the formula;
y = mx+c where
m is the slope or gradient
c us the intercept
Since there are two points containing x1, y1 and x2, y2, the equation of the line will become;
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
m =∆y/∆x
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
Given x1 = 2, y1 = -2, x2 = 0, y2 = -2
m = -2-(-2)/0-2
m = -2+2/-2
m = 0/2 =0
Since m=0, the equation of the line becomes;
y-(-2) = 0(x-2)
y+2 = 0
y = -2 (This is the required equation)
