Question 6 • Mathematics 8

Sanjay said that if a line has a slope of zero, then it never touches the x -axis. Which line proves that his statement is incorrect?

Answer
A
x is equal to 0
B
x is equal to 1
C
y is equal to 1
D
y is equal to 0

Explanation

A line with slope zero is horizontal, so it has an equation of the form y = a constant. The line y = 0 is the x-axis itself, so it touches the x-axis at every point on the line. Therefore, y = 0 proves Sanjay’s statement incorrect.
