Write the equation of the line that goes through the point
(5,8) and is parallel to the x-axis.

Y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's a line that is parallel to the x-axis, and you know the equation of a line is y=mx+b, the slope(m) is 0 because the line is not a positive or negative slope (since it's parallel to the x-axis).

So, we now have y=b, where b is the y-intercept. Now, since we know one of its coordinates are (5,8), we know that this line will always stay on y=8 since 8 is the y coordinate of (5,8)

An easy shortcut is if you see the question say parallel to the x-axis, the equation of the line will be y=___; if it says the line is parallel to the y-axis, the equation will be x=___

i pretty sure it is

the least value out of the data shown is 5, maybe if you post a picture with it i could a little more.
