Question

write the equation of line parallel to x axis and passing through a point (2, - 5​

Answer 1

Given: A straight line is parallel to x-axis

To find: The equation of the line when it passes through the point (2, -5)

Solution:

• We know that, the equation of the x-axis is

y = 0.

• Let the equation of the line parallel to the x-axis be y.

• Since the line y passes through the point

(2, - 5), we can write y = -5

--》Therefore, we get the required

parallel straight line: y = - 5 OR y + 5 = 0
