Question

The equation of a straight line parallel to x-axis and passing through (0, 5) is

• A.
  $x=0$
• B.
  $y=5$
• C.
  $y=0$
• D.
  $x=5$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$y=5$
The equation of the straight line parallel to x-axis at a distance b units is y = b.

Now, the line is passing through (0, 5).

$\therefore b=5$

Thus, the equation of the required line is y = 5.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
