Question

write the equation of the line parallel to x-axis at a distance of 5 units above the origin

Answer 1

Equation of a line parallel to x-axis is :

y = a (where a is given unit distance)

∴ equation : y = 5

⇒ y - 5 = 0 (this is required equation of line)

Answer 2

Answer:

$y-5=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A line parallel to x axis at a distance of 5 units above origin

Solution :

Equation of line parallel to x axis : y = a

'a' denotes the distance from origin

Since a = 5 is given

So, the equation will be y = 5

⇒$y-5=0$

Hence the line y-5=0 is the line parallel to x axis at a distance of 5 units
