Question

A line parallel to the x-axis could contain which point? Choose all that apply. A. (-10,4) B. (2,0) C. (0,2) D. (4,0) E. (0,0) F. (7,3)

Answer 1

The points (2,0), (4,0), and (0,0) are on the line which is parallel to the x-axis.

Explanation:

If a line is parallel to the x-axis then, the x-coordinate changes but the y-coordinate remain constant.

Now, in the points (2,0), (4,0), and (0,0) the y-coordinate remains the same but is equal to 0.

Since x-axis itself is a parallel to the x-axis with distance fro the x-axis equal to zero.

Therefore, the points (2,0), (4,0), and (0,0) are on the line which is parallel to the x-axis. (Answer)
