Does this mean something like "Write the equation, in standard form, for the horizontal line passing through the point (x, y) = (-3, 4)"? Or do you mean something else? What does your book mean by "standard form"? (There appears to be no fixed meaning to this term, is why I ask.)

When you reply, please show what you have tried, how far you have gotten, an where you are stuck. Please be specific. Thank you.

Write in standard form

Write the equation in standard form Ax+By=C

(-3,4); horizontal

I do not know where to go with this, I have locked up and just can't seem to fish the solution out of my head :?

Hello, Mikey,

All horizontal lines have zero slope. That means the coefficient of the x term is zero and the x term disappears. So the equation of a horizontal line can be written as y= (some constant).

Can you figure things out from here?

The tutor gave you that horizontal lines are in the form "y = (some constant)". So look at the point they gave you, and plug in the appropriate number.
