Question

What is the equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (-7,5)?

Oy = 5
Oy = -7
Ox=5
Ox= - 7

Answer 1

y = 5

Explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis is

y = c

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

The line passes through (- 7, 5 ) with y- coordinate 5 , then

y = 5 ← is the equation of the line

Answer 2

1st option, y = 5

Explanation:

when the line is horizontal, it's parallel to the x axis
