Equation Of A Line Parallel To The X-Axis Or Y-Axis

In this lesson, we will learn

• what is the equation of a horizontal line or a line parallel to the x-axis.
• what is the equation of a vertical line or a line parallel to the y-axis.

Equation of Line Parallel to the x-axis

A line that is parallel to the x-axis and has a y-intercept of c. has the equation of the horizontal line is y = c.

The following video shows how to graph a line parallel to the x-axis or a horizontal line

Equation of Line Parallel to the y-axis

A line that is parallel to the y-axis and has a x-intercept of a has the equation of x = a. The equation of the x-axis is y = 0. The equation of the y-axis is x = 0

The following video shows how to graph a line parallel to the y-axis or a vertical line
