Look at each choice.

A. A line parallel to the x axis has neither slope nor y intercept defined.

Look in the figure above. The first graph shows a line parallel to the x-axis, and it has a slope of zero, and it crosses the y-axis, so it has a y-intercept, so this choice is not true.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Now look at choice B.

Compare it to the second graph in the figure.
