Question

State whether the following statement is true/false.

$(5,2)$ and $(-7,2)$ are points on the line parallel to y-axis.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Consider the given points.

$(5,2)$ and $(-7,2)$

We know that the equation of the line which is passing through two points

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

So,

$y-2=\frac{2-2}{-7-5}(x-5)$

$y-2=\frac{0}{-12}(x-5)$

$y-2=0$

$y=2$

So, this line represent the $x-axis$.

Hence, this is the answer.
