Question

Which equation represents the horizontal line passing through (7, 5)?

x = 5
x = 7
y = 5
y = 7

Answer 1

The equation that represents the horizontal line passing through (7,5) is y=5. Plot the point and then make a horizontal line going through it and you will see that the y-intercept is five. Yoou can even do this in your head.

Answer 2

y = 5

Explanation:

In this question, we need to find an equation that represents the horizontal line passing through (7, 5) .

An equation is a mathematical statement that shows that one thing is equal to the other .

Given Options:

x = 5

x = 7

y = 5

y = 7

We need to choose one of the options.

Equation that represents horizontal line is of form
`y=k` i.e, it must passes through point (0,k) on y-axis .

As the line passes through (7,5), it must passes through point (0,5) on the y-axis .

So, equation of line is y = 5
