Choose the correct alternative answer for the following questions.
What is the equation of the X-axis?
A. x =0
B. y =0
C. x+y=0
D. x=y
y = m × x + c
Where c is the intercept of the line on y-axis and m is the gradient of the line. Since intercept of x-axis on y-axis is zero, so c = 0. Gradient of x-axis is also zero because it makes an angle zero with itself. So m = tan(theta) = 0. Putting these values in the general equation we get,
y = 0 × x + 0
y = 0. Thus we get the equation for x-axis as y = 0.

How many lines are there which are parallel to X-axis and having a distance 5 units?
Suppose the required linear equation of a line is y = mx + c
Since, the line is parallel to x-axis, so m = 0
Then equation of the line will be y = c
And this line passes through the point at a distance of 5 units below the x-axis i.e (-5,0)
Then the equation of line is y = -5.
And similarly,
And this line passes through the point at a distance of 5 units above the x-axis i.e (5,0)
Then the equation of line is y = 5.
If ‘a’ is a real number, what is the distance between the Y-axis and the line x = a?
The distance is a unit, assuming a is an arbitrary constant, which it is, given that you stated it’s a real number.
This is because the y-axis is the same as the line x = 0, and so the difference between the two lines will be a−0 units, or simply a units.
