A line passes through the point (-2, 7) and has a slope of -5.

y - 7 = -5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

What's the goal of this problem?  Please include the instructions.

If you want the equation of the line, recognize that a point on the line and the slope of the line are given:  y - k= m(x - h) becomes   y - 7 = -5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

line that is parallel to x-axis  the slope = 0

an equation is : y= ax+b    a = 0

passes through the point (3,5) : y =5 when x = 3 so : b = 5

an equation is : y = 5
