QQuestion

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

Exam-ready answer • 01 Mark

Answer

(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.
