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.

Answer 1

equation of this line is y = -5

Answer 2

Answer:

y + 5 = 0 is the line parallel to x axis at a distance of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  

A line parallel to x-axis at a distance of 5 units below origin

We know :

equation of line parallel to x-axis:

y = a  

here, a is the distance from origin that is 5.

a = 5  

So, the equation will be y = -5 because it is below origin

Therefore, the line y + 5=0 is the line parallel to the x-axis at a distance of 5 units.
