Question

Find the equation of the line with the given properties. Sketch the graph of the line. The line passes through (-1.6,4.4) and is parallel to the x-axis. (Simplify)

Answer 1

Given the point:

(-1.6, 4.4)

Let's find the equation of the line which passes through the given point and is parallel to the x-axis.

Since the line is parallel to the x-axis, the line is a horizontal line located at the y-coordinate of the point.

Therefore, the equation of the line will be:

y = 4.4

To sketch the graph, let's draw a horizontal line that passes through the point: y = 4.

The graph is shown below:
