A line has a slope of 0 and passes through (2,5)(2, 5). What is its equation?

A

y=5y = 5

B

x=2x = 2

C

y=2y = 2

D

x=5x = 5

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Slope 0 means horizontal.

  1. Horizontal: Equation is y=ky = k.
  2. Point: The y-coordinate is 5.
  3. Equation: y=5y = 5.

💡 Strategic Tip: Match the variable to the coordinate value. Horizontal →y\rightarrow y. Vertical →x\rightarrow x.

Choice B is incorrect because it is vertical. Choice C is incorrect because it uses the x-coordinate. Choice D is incorrect because it mixes variables.
