hi, could you please tell me how to find the equation of a line (not a straightline), with points (8,11) and the other one is (x,35) where x is an unknown coordinate. the slope is 0. This is a parabola. Thank you very much.

..... A parabola has very many points, and there is a slope at every one of them. You say the slope is 0, but you don't say at which point that slope is zero.
