Question

Write the equations of the straight lines parallel to x-axis which are at a distance of $5$ units from the x-axis.

• A. $y=-5$
• B. $y=5$
• C. $y=x-5$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B $y=5$

Equation of line parallel to $x-axis:y=a$

${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$ denotes the distance from origin

Since, $a=5$ is given

So, the equation will be $y=5$

Hence the line $y-5=0$ is the line parallel to $x-axis$ at a distance of $5units$.

Hence, this is the answer.
