Choose the equation and the slope of the line that passes through (5, - 4) and

is parallel to the x-axis.

y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A line parallel to the x - axis is a horizontal line with slope = 0

The equation of a horizontal line is

y = c

Where c is the value of the y - coordinates the line passes through.

Here the line passes through (5, - 4) with y - coordinate of - 4, thus

Equation of line is y = - 4
