Question

question 2 of 5 which of the equations below represents a line parallel to the x - axis? a. x = 5 b. y = 1 c. y = x d. y = 5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall line - axis parallel rules

Lines parallel to x - axis have constant y - values.

Step2: Analyze each option

A. $x = 5$ is a vertical line parallel to y - axis.
B. $y=\frac{1}{2}$ is a horizontal line (parallel to x - axis) but option D is more standard form.
C. $y = x$ is a line with slope 1 passing through the origin, not parallel to x - axis.
D. $y = 5$ is a horizontal line with a constant y - value, parallel to x - axis.

Answer:

D. $y = 5$
