Question

Name two coordinates that are on the line:
`y = 12`

Name two coordinates that are on the line:
`x = -5`

Answer 1

(1,12) and (2,12).

(- 5,1) and (- 5, 2).

Explanation:

y = 12 is a line that is parallel to the x-axis and at a constant distance of 12 units above the x-axis. Therefore, the points on the line will have any x-coordinate but have a constant y-coordinate i.e. 12.

Therefore, the two points on the line y = 12 can be (1,12) and (2,12).

x = - 5 is a line that is parallel to the y-axis and at a constant distance of 5 units left of the y-axis. Therefore, the points on the line will have any y-coordinate but have a constant x-coordinate i.e. - 5.

Therefore, the two points on the line x = - 5 can be (- 5,1) and (- 5, 2). (Answer)
