Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line is $y=-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line $y=9$ is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

The equation of a horizontal line is equal to the y-coordinate of the point that passes through it

In this problem, the line passes through the point (3,-8)

The y-coordinate is -8

therefore

The equation of the line is $y=-8$
