Question

A line is parallel to 2x = 0 and passes through (6, -7). Which of the following equations represents the line?

(A) y = -7
(B) y = 7
(C) x = 6
(D) x = -7

Answer 1

The equation of the line that is parallel to 2x = 0 and passes through the point (6, -7) is x = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires finding the equation of a line that is parallel to the given line 2x = 0 and passes through the point (6, -7). The line 2x = 0 simplifies to x = 0, which is a vertical line crossing the x-axis at 0. Any line parallel to a vertical line is also a vertical line, and it is represented by an equation where x is equal to a constant. Since the line needs to pass through the point (6, -7), the equation of the line is x = 6.
