Question

Which of the following is the equation of a line that passes through the point (1,4) and is parallel to the x-axis?
y = 1

x = 1

y = 4

x = 4

Answer 1

parallel to the \(x\) axis makes it horizontal
horizontal line looks like \(y=number\)

Answer 2

in your example the number is 4, since you have \((1,4)\) and \(4\) is the \(y\) coordinate
