Write an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions.
-The line passes through (42, 17) and is parallel to y = 6.
A) $y = 17$
B) $x = - \frac { 1 } { 6 }$
C) $x = 42$
D) $y = - \frac { 1 } { 6 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The line y = 6 is a horizontal line. A line parallel to it will also be horizontal and have the same slope, which is 0. The equation of a horizontal line passing through (42, 17) is $y = 17$, which does not change with x.
