Question

At what point does the graph of the linear equation x +y =5 meet a line which is parallel to Y axis at a distance of 2 units from the origin and in the negative direction of X axis? a. (-2,3) b. (-2,7) c. (2,7) d. (7,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=6⇒ a line where the y-coordinate of all points in the line is 6.

So, some points in the line would be (0,6),(1,6),(−1,6) ,etc.

If we draw a line joining any of the two points above, we would get a graph which is shown above.

The line is 6 units away from origin and is parallel to x-axis.

y−intercept=6

So, the answer is [A].
