Question

5. Write the equation of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

a.  y = 3.

b. y = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Parallel to y = 0 means parallel to the x- axis ( y = 0 is the x axis). The equation will be of the form y = something.

As it passes through the point (-3,3) it must therefore be y = 3.

b.  Perpendicular to x = 0 means perpendicular to the y axis so the equation will be y = -2 (because it passes through (5, -2).
