Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through point (7,6) and is parallel to the x- axis?

Correct answer: D. y=6

  • A. x=6
  • B. x=7
  • C. y=7
  • D. y=6

Explanation

A line parallel to the x-axis must have a constant y-value, as it does not rise or fall. The correct equation for the line passing through (7,6) is y=6. Option A and B are vertical lines parallel to the y-axis. Option C is a horizontal line but does not pass through (7,6).
