Question

Equation of line parallel to $x-$ axis and 2 - units above the origin is

• A. $x=2$
• B. $x=-2$
• C. $y=2$
• D. $y=-2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $y=2$

We know that the equation of a straight line parallel to the $x$-axis at a distance b from it is $y=b.$

Therefore, the equation of a straight line parallel to the $x$-axis at a distance of $2$ units above the x-axis is $y=2.$
