Question

The graph of x = 5 is a line: a) Parallel to x-axis at a distance 5 units from the origin b) Parallel to y-axis at a distance 5 units from the origin c) Making an intercept 5 on the x-axis d) Making an intercept 5 on the y-axis

Answer 1

Answer:

The given equation is y=6

We can write it as y=0.x+6

i.e. for every value of x, we have y=6

So, the points are (0,6),(−1,6),(1,6),(3,6)....

On plotting these points, we get a straight line parallel to the x−axis at a distance of 6 units from the x−axis.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B.

Given: The equation of line is = x = 5.

To Find: Which statement is correct.

Solution:

Refer to the attachment for graph.

x = 5 means that the points which this line will contain, all should have x = 5.

As we can see in the graph, x = 5 is the line which is parallel to the y-axis and is at a distance of 5 units from y-axis.

Hence, the line is parallel to y-axis at a distance of 5 units from the origin.
