Lisa Morrison · Answer 1

Paralell lines have same slope

paralell to x axis means slope of x axis=slope of line

slopt of x axis=rise/run, rise=0, run=infinity, so slope=0

y=mx+b

m=slope

if m=0,

y=0x+b

y=b

therefor the answer is an equation that is y=constant where there is no x

answer is 2) y=10
