Question

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to the x-axis and that passes through the point (5,3)? Thanks x

Answer 1

Parallel to x axis implies slope = 0,

Using y = mx + b

y = b is the answer:

So y = 3 is the equation..

Answer 2

the general form is y = mx + b

m = slope, b = y-intercept.

from the drawing the slope is 0

so y = 0x + b

or

y = b

find the y-intercept
