Set 4: Linear Functions

Explanation

Answer: A

Which line is parallel to the x-axis?

A.

y=7y = 7

✓ Correct
B.

x=7x = 7

C.

y=xy = x

D.

y=7xy = 7x

Detailed Explanation

Choice A is correct. Choice A is the correct answer. The x-axis is horizontal. 1. Parallel: A line parallel to the x-axis must also be horizontal. 2. Form: Horizontal lines have the equation y=ky = k. 3. Match: y=7y = 7 fits. Strategic Tip: The x-axis itself is the line y=0y=0. Choice B is incorrect because it is vertical (parallel to y-axis). Choice C is incorrect because it is diagonal. Choice D is incorrect because it is diagonal.

Key Steps:

The correct answer is y=7y = 7

Why others are wrong:
B: Choice B is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
C: Choice C is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
D: Choice D is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
