Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Here, we want to write the equation of a line in both the standard and slope-intercept form

The general form is the slope-intercept form which is

$y\text{ = mx + b}$

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

From the equation given, we have it that the slope is 0

When two lines are parallel, the value of their slopes is equal

Thus, the slope of the line we want to write its equation is 0 too

For the slope-intercept form:

$\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ (x_{1,}y_1)\text{ = (6,5)} \\ y-5\text{ = 0(x-6)} \\ y-5\text{ = 0} \\ y\text{ = 5} \end{gathered}$

This is the slope-intercept form

The general form is:

$Ax\text{ + By = C}$

There is no parts for x since the slope is zero

Thus, we have the standard form as:

$y=5$
