Question

A line is parallel to y-axis and at a distance of 5 units on the positive side of the x-axis. The equation of the line is ______.

Options

• y = 5

• y + 5 = 0

• x = 5

• x + 5 = 0

Answer 1

A line is parallel to y-axis and at a distance of 5 units on the positive side of the x-axis. The equation of the line is x = 5.

Explanation:

A line parallel to the y-axis has an equation of the form x = k, where k is the constant distance from the y-axis. Since it is at a distance of 5 units on the positive side of the x-axis, the equation is x = 5.
