Question

Select the coordinates of two points that are on the line x = 5.
a. (5, 0) and (0, 5)
b. (5, 0) and (5, −2)
c. (5, 0) and (0, 2)
d. (0, 5) and (0, 2)

Answer 1

The line, x = 5, is a vertical line that has no y-intercept and an x-intercept at (5,0). In fact, all the points on this line are (5,y), where x is always equal to 5. Therefore, answer b. (5,0) and (5,-2), would be the correct answer. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

b. (5, 0) and (5, −2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : line x = 5

To Find: Select the coordinates of two points that are on the line x = 5.

Solution:

Line x=5 is the line parallel to y axis in which at every point x coordinate will remain 5

So,In option A) (5, 0) and (0, 5)

Since the x coordinate of second point is not 5

So, (5, 0) and (0, 5) does not lie on  line x = 5

In Option B) (5, 0) and (5, −2)

Since the x coordinate of both points is  5

So, (5, 0) and (5, −2)  lie on  line x = 5

So,In option C) (5, 0) and (0, 2)

Since the x coordinate of second point is not 5

So, (5, 0) and (0, 2) does not lie on  line x = 5

So,In option D)  (0, 5) and (0, 2)

Since the x coordinate of both points is not 5

So,  (0, 5) and (0, 2) does not lie on  line x = 5

Hence, (5, 0) and (5, −2) are on line x =5

So, Option B is correct
