Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to the X-axis at a distance of 5 units from it and below the X-axis *

x =5

y = -5

y= 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,

Equation of x-axis,

y = 0

Hence, Slope of x-axis(m1) = 0

Now,

For any line parallel to the x-axis having a slope m2,

m2=m1 [Slope of any parallel lines are equal]

Therefore, m2=0

The required line is parallel to the x-axis at a distance of 5 units from it and below the x-axis,

So,it passes from a point (0,-5)

Equation of required line,

y-y1=m(x-x1)

or, y-(-5)=0(x-0)

or, y = -5
