Question

The equation of the line parallel to the x - axis at a distance of 6 units above the origin is

• A. $y=6$
• B. $y=-6$
• C. $x=6$
• D. $x=-6$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $y=6$

Given, If a line is parllel to the x-axis at a distance of 6 units from the origin, then the y-coordinate remains the same and equals to 6.

We know, when a straight line is parallel to the $x-axis$ at a distance $k$, the equation for a line is $y=k$

Therefore, the equation of a straight line is $y=6.$


Hence, (a.) is the correct choice.
