Find the equation of a line whose y-intercept is 6 and is parallel to x-axis.
(a) y = 6
(b) x = 6
(c) x + y = 6
(d) y − x = 6
Find the equation of a line whose y-intercept is 6 and is parallel to x-axis.
(a) y = 6
(b) x = 6
(c) x + y = 6
(d) y − x = 6
(a) y = 6
Explanation:
A line parallel to the x-axis has slope m = 0 and the given y-intercept is c = 6.
Using y = mx + c:
y = 0x + 6
Therefore, y = 6.
