Can a horizontal line have an x-intercept? What if the line passes through the origin? Explain.

A. A horizontal line sometimes have an x-intercept. If the line is the x-axis itself, it will have x-intercepts at every point on the line, because the x-intercept is defined as the points at which a line touches the x-axis.
B. A horizontal line never have an x-intercept. The x-intercept is defined as the point at which a line crosses the x-axis.

Answer:

B.A horizontal line never have an x- intercept.the x- intercept is defined as the point at which a line crosses the x- axis.

Explanation:

We have to find that a horizontal line can have an x- intercept and what happened when the line passes through the origin.

X-intercept: It is defined as the value of x at which the graph cut the x- axis.

No, a horizontal line can not have x- intercept.Because the x -intercept is defined as the point at which a line crosses the x- axis.

When a horizontal line passes through the origin then it coincide the horizontal line.
