Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the x-axis and goes through the point (1,4).

If it is parallel to the x axis then it is y= something

in this case
y = 4

Thank you, Damon

You are welcome :)

To find the equation of a line parallel to the x-axis, we need to remember that all points on this line will have the same y-coordinate. Since the line is parallel to the x-axis, the slope of the line will be zero.

Given that the line passes through the point (1,4), we know that the y-coordinate of this point is 4. Therefore, the equation of the line will have a constant y-value of 4.

The equation of a line can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, since the slope is zero, the equation becomes y = 0x + 4, or simply y = 4.

So the equation of the line that is parallel to the x-axis and passes through the point (1,4) is y = 4.
