Question

the locus of the point which is at distance 5 units from x-axis?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let our point be (x,y)

Distance of any point from x-axis = magnitude of its y coordinate

From the question we have,

Distance of any point from x-axis =5

Which implies that

∣y∣=5

Now squaring each side we get

y

=25 which can be re-written as

y

−25=0

Answer 2

Answer:

locus is a line, which is parallel with X axis. i.e Y = 5 or Y = –5 hence locus is | Y | = 5.
