Concept: Straight Lines:
Let the equation of the required line be y = mx + c. Since this line pass through (5, 8), we must have: ⇒ 8 = 5m + c ---(1) Also, the slope of the x-axis is 0 and, therefore, the slope of the required line should also be 0. i.e. m = 0. Substituting this value of m in equation (1), we get: c = 8. ∴ The required equation of the line is: y = 0(x) + 8 ⇒ y = 8. India’s #1 Learning Platform Start Complete Exam Preparation
