Which equation represents the x-axis?

A

y=0y = 0

B

x=0x = 0

C

y=xy = x

D

x=1x = 1

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Definition of axes.

  1. X-axis: All points on this line have a height (yy) of 0.
  2. Equation: y=0y = 0.

💡 Strategic Tip: The X-axis is y=0y=0. The Y-axis is x=0x=0. It's counter-intuitive!

Choice B is incorrect because it is the y-axis. Choice C is incorrect because it is a diagonal line. Choice D is incorrect because it is a vertical line at 1.
