What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the x-axis and passes through (1, 4)

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line if parallel to the x-axis, regardless of the value of x, y will be equal to 4.  In general, then, the points on the line are (x,4), where x is any value, including 1.

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
