b. parallel to y axis
c. passing through origin
d. not passing throght origin​

Answer 1

Answer:

letter b parrel to y axis

hope it helps

Answer 2

The graph of the equation ax + b = 0 is parallel to the y-axis and the line doesn't go through the origin. Options B, D are the correct answers.

The given problem can be solved using the concepts of straight lines in 2D coordinate geometry.

1. The given line is ax + b = 0.

2. The above equation of the line can also be written as follows,

=> ax + b = 0,

=> ax = -b,

=> x = (-b/a).

                                                                                       

3. According to the properties of 2D coordinate geometry, the line x = k is parallel to the y-axis at a distance of k units, and the line y = d is parallel to the x-axis at a distance of d units.

4. From the mentioned property above, the line x = (-b/a) is parallel to the y-axis and the distance between the y-axis and the line is (b/a) units.

5.   The graph of the equation x = (-b/a) goes through the point (-b/a,0) and it doesn’t go through the origin.

Thereofore Options B and D are the correct answers.
