Question

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (14,30) and is parallel to the x-axis. Write the equation in the form y

Answer 1

Equation is
`y=30`

Explanation:

We know that equation of line parallel to x-axis is given by

`y=constant`,the constant being equal to the distance at which the line is from x-axis.

Now since it is given that the line passes through (14,30) thus this point should satisfy the given equation of line.

Since the point is at a distance of 30 units from x-axis thus the equation of line containing point (14,30) and parallel to x-axis becomes

`y=30`
