Question

how do you find the distance between two points lying on a line parallel to x axis explain

Answer 1

To find the distance between two points parallel to x- axis is taken as the distance between that two x coordinates.

Answer 2

Consider y = 0 and simply apply the distance formula

• The equation of a line parallel to x-axis is given by Y = K
• Where k is a constant value.
• We can also interpret that the distance from x-axis to the line y = k is x
• Now use the line equation for coordinate geometry
• d = $\sqrt{(x1^{2} - y1^{2} ) + (x2^{2}-y2^{2}) }$
• For lines parallel to the x-axis y values may be taken as zero.
• And the distance can be found out
