c.) y = -2
d.) x = 0

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Both points y is -2 so the answer is

the line y = -2.

Answer:  the correct option is

(c) y = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the equation of a line that contains the points (2, -2) and (0, -2).

We know that

the slope of a line containing the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

[tex]m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.[/tex]

So, the slope of the given line is

[tex]m=\dfrac{-2-(-2)}{0-2}=\dfrac{0}{-2}=0.[/tex]

Since the line has a point (2, -2) on it, so its equation will be

[tex]y-(-2)=m(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow y+2=0(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow y+2=0\\\\\Rightarrow y=-2.[/tex]

Thus, the required equation of the line is [tex]y=-2.[/tex]

Option (c) is CORRECT.
