Question

Which of the following is the equation of a line parallel to y-axis?
(a) y = 0
(b) x + y = z
(C) y = x
(d) x = a​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 0 is parallel to y axis

Answer 2

SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

Which of the following is the equation of a line parallel to y-axis

(a) y = 0

(b) x + y = 2

(C) y = x

(d) x = a

EVALUATION

CHECKING FOR OPTION : (a)

Here the given equation of the line is y = 0

This is the equation of x axis

So the line is not parallel to y-axis

CHECKING FOR OPTION : (b)

Here the given equation of the line is x + y = 2

So the line is not parallel to y-axis

CHECKING FOR OPTION : (c)

Here the given equation of the line is y = x

This is the equation of of a line passing through the origin

So the line is not parallel to y-axis

CHECKING FOR OPTION : (d)

Here the given equation of the line is x = a

We know that the equation of y axis is x = 0

Now any line parallel to x = 0 is x = a

So the line is parallel to y-axis

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is (d) x = a
