Question

If a line joing p (12,8) and q(24,x) if parallel to x axis then the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel to x-axis

⇒ It is a horizontal line

⇒ The Gradient is 0

Find the gradient:

Gradient = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Gradient = (x - 8)/(24 - 12)

Gradient = (x - 8)/12

Solve x:

(x - 8)/12 = 0

Multiply by 12 on both sides:

x - 8 = 0

Add 8 to both sides:

x = 8

Answer: x = 8
