Answer:
y=5
Explanation:
The equation of a line can be written as y−y/0=m⋅
(x−x/0)
where (x0,y/0) is any point that lies on the line.
The gradient, m , of the line can be found using any two non-identical points that lie on the line.
m=y2−y/1x2−x1=5−5/−3−0=0
A gradient of zero indicates that the line is horizontal.
The equation of the line can thus be simplified to
y=y/0
In this case, both points have a y coordinate of 5.The equation of this line is therefore y=5 .
