Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (−5, 9). y = −5 y = 9 x = −5 x = 9

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are trying to find a horizontal line, our line would have to be y = [a number]. That takes our x = -5 and x = 9 out as answer choices. We are left with y = -5 and y = 9. y = 9 is correct because the horizontal line is the y-values, and since in (-5, 9), our y-value is 9, our line is y = 9.
