color(crimson)(y = 1, " is the equation of the line"

Explanation:

"Given : (x_1,y_1) = -4,1), (x_2,y_2) = (6,1)

To obtain the equation of the line, we will use the formula

(y - y_1) / (y_2 - y_1) = (x-x_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

(y - 1) / (1-1) = (x + 4) / (6 + 4)

(y-1) / 0 = (x +4) / 10

y - 1 = ((x+4)/10) * 0 = 0

:. y = 1, " is the equation of the line"
