It provides a step-by-step solution to find the equation of the line passing through these points. The slope is calculated as zero, indicating a horizontal line. The slope is calculated as (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-4 - (-4)) / (-8 - (-2)) = 0 / -6 = 0. Since the slope is zero, it indicates a horizontal line at y = -4. Using point-slope form, the equation becomes y + 4 = 0, which simplifies to y = -4. |
