Question

The point P (−3, −2) lies on a line parallel to the X-axis. Write the equation of the line.
a) x = −3
b) x = −2
c) y = −3
d) y = −2​

Answer 1

the x co-ordinate of a point its distance from the Y-axis and y co-ordinate is its from the x-axis.

The point of intersection of the line parallel to Y-axis at a distances 3 units from it to its left and the line parallel to X-axis at a distance 2 units below it is (−3,−2). The equation of the parallel to Y-axis at a distance 3 units from it to its left is x=−3.
