Answer:
the equation of the line is
[tex]y=1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The slope of a line parallel to the x-axis (horizontal line) is equal to zero, and the equation of the line is equal to the y-coordinate of the point that passes through the line
In this problem we have a horizontal line that passes through the point [tex](-5,1)[/tex]
the y-coordinate of the point is [tex]1[/tex]
so
the equation of the line is
[tex]y=1[/tex]
