how do I write an equation with:

Question

-Having  y-intercept 6 and parallel to the x-axis

 

-Having the x-intercept be -4 and parallel to the y-axis

Answer 1

Problems like this can be tricky especially when they are more simple than they seem.

 

Since the line is parallel to the x-axis and y-intercept being 6, the equation of the line would be:

 

y=6 with slope being m=0. Note: The domain is all real numbers and the range is 6.

 

 

For the second part. the equation of the line is:

 

x=-4 in which is parallel to the y-axis. Note: the domain is -4 and the range is all real numbers.

Answer 2

A line parallel to the x-axis has all y's the same.  The equation is y=6

Parallel to the y-axis means all x's the same. The equation is x=-4
