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?
A. x=1
b. y=4
c. x=4
d. y=1

Answer 1

would it be B?

Answer 2

None of those answers are equations such as y = mx + b

Answer 3

Yes it is B

Answer 4

how would it be B?

Answer 5

The slope of a line parallel to the x axis is zero so there would be NO x term.

Answer 6

When a line is parallel to the x-axis, that means the equation is y = some number

And if that line goes through (x, y), we have to use the y-value of it since it starts with y =

Answer 7

so im right it would be y=4 ?

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

this might help you.....
HOY -- horizontal line, 0 slope, represented by y = a number
VUX -- vertical line, undefined slope, represented by x = a number
and if it is parallel to the x axis, it is a horizontal line...so its y = ...and look at ur points
(1,4).....and use ur y coordinate..so yes, its y = 4

Answer 10

It is B because it is parallel to the x axis. The x axis is a horizontal line. If it is parallel with this, it must be a straight line with no slope. Then you look at the point that they give you which is (1,4) This means that the y value is 4. If it is parallel to the x axis it must be y= something. So if we are given y=4 for a point that is our answer
