Slope of a line parallel to the x -axis is 0

y = 5 is the required equation of a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that  a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

To find: slope of this line and equation of a line

The x -axis is a horizontal line with the equation y = 0 There are an infinite number of lines that are parallel to the x -axis, y = 0

All horizontal lines have slope of 0

If lines are parallel then they have the same slope. The slope of a line parallel to the x -axis is 0

The equation of a straight line parallel to x-axis at a distance b from it is y = b

Here "b" is the y - co-ordinate value

Here given point is (4, 5) so b = 5

The required equation is y = 5

<h3><u>Method 2:</u></h3>

We know slope "m" = 0

Given point is (4, 5)

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + b --- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y - intercept

Substituting m = 0 and (x, y) = (4, 5)

5 = 0(4) + b

b = 5

Substitute b = 5  and m = 0 in eqn 1

y = 0 + 5

y = 5 is the required equation of a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

Are the two figures congruent?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

No, because the reflection of ABC is not congruent to A’B’C’.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The rule of the reflection across the line y=x is equal to

(x,y) -------> (y,x)

so

A(-6,6) -------> A'(6,-6) ----> is ok

B(-3,3) ------> B'(3,-3) ----> is ok

C(-8,2) ------> C'(8,-2) ----> is not ok ( is not a reflection acros the line y=x)

therefore

The triangles are no t congruent, because the reflection of ABC is not congruent to A’B’C’
