Question

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the point (1,5) and is parallel to the x -axis. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided to submit your solution.

Answer 1

y = 5

Explanation:

A line parallel to the x- axis has equation

y = c

Where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through

The line passes through (1, 5) with y- coordinate of 5, thus

y = 5 ← equation of line
