Find the equation of the line parallel to the x-axis passing through (5,3)(5, -3).

A

y=3y = -3

B

x=5x = 5

C

y=5y = 5

D

x=3x = -3

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Parallel to x-axis is horizontal.

  1. Form: y=ky = k.
  2. Value: y-coordinate is -3.
  3. Equation: y=3y = -3.

💡 Strategic Tip: Horizontal = y-value.

Choice B is incorrect because vertical. Choice C is incorrect because wrong value. Choice D is incorrect because vertical.
