What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (8, -8) and (-5, -8)

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of trying to find the slope of the line through these two points in the usual rise/run fashion, note that y does not change as we progress from x= -5 to x= +8.  This tells us immediately that this line is a horizontal one:  y = -8.

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
