Question

Write down the equation of a line that is parallel to the x-axis and passes through (–4, 9).

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation of the line is y=−5

Explanation:

General equation of line is y=mx+c where m is the slope

Slope of line parallel to x-axis is m=0

So y=(0)x+c⟹y=c

(2,−5) lies on our required line y=c

⟹−5=0(2)+c

⟹c=−5

Equation of the line is y=−5
