Horizontal Line
A horizontal line is a straight line that runs from left to right or right to left without any slant. In a coordinate plane, a horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis and has a slope of 0.
Equation of a Horizontal Line
The equation of a horizontal line is of the form y = c, where 'c' is a constant. This means that no matter what value of x you plug into the equation, the value of y will always be the same.
Characteristics of a Horizontal Line
Examples
Here are some examples of equations of horizontal lines:
- y = 3
- y = -2
- y = 0
Study Guide
To understand horizontal lines, make sure to:
- Understand the concept of slope and how it relates to the orientation of a line
- Practice identifying horizontal lines on a coordinate plane
- Be familiar with the equation y = c and how it represents a horizontal line
Remember, a horizontal line has a slope of 0 and is parallel to the x-axis. It's a fundamental concept in geometry and coordinate geometry!

Number and Operations (NCTM)
Understand meanings of operations and how they relate to one another.
Understand various meanings of multiplication and division.
Identify and use relationships between operations, such as division as the inverse of multiplication, to solve problems.
Connections to the Grade 5 Focal Points (NCTM)
Algebra: Students use patterns, models, and relationships as contexts for writing and solving simple equations and inequalities. They create graphs of simple equations. They explore prime and composite numbers and discover concepts related to the addition and subtraction of fractions as they use factors and multiples, including applications of common factors and common multiples. They develop an understanding of the order of operations and use it for all operations.
