Question

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (19,25) and is parallel to the x-axis. Write the equation in the form y=mx+b and identify m and b.m=b=

Answer 1

We will find the equation of the line passes through the point (19, 25)

And is parallel to the x-axis

The slope of the x-axis = 0

So, the slope of the line = 0, because the parallel lines have the same slope

And as the line passes with (19, 25)

So, all the points of the line have the same y-coordinates

So, the equation in the form y=mx+b

m = 0

b = 25

The equation of the line will be:

`y=0\cdot x+25`
