For the equation of the line parallel to x-axis, we assume the equation as a one variable equation independent of x containing y equal to -3


We get the equation,


y = -3


ii). We are given the co-ordinates of the Cartesian plane at (0,4)


For the equation of the line parallel to x-axis, we assume the equation as a one variable equation independent of x containing y equal to 4


We get the equation,


y = 4


iii). We are given the co-ordinates of the Cartesian plane at (2,-5)


For the equation of the line parallel to x-axis, we assume the equation as a one variable equation independent of x containing y equal to -5


We get the equation,


y = -5


iv). We are given the co-ordinates of the Cartesian plane at (3,4)


For the equation of the line parallel to x-axis, we assume the equation as a one variable equation independent of x containing y equal to 4


We get the equation,


y = 4
