What is the equation of a line parallel to x-axis and at a distance of 7 units below the origin?

What is the equation of a line parallel to x-axis and at a distance of 7 units below the origin?

Text Solution

Solution : The slope of the line making an angle `(2π)/3` ​ with the positive x-axis is `m=tan{ (2pi)/3}` ​<br> `=- sqrt3` <br> Now, the equation of the line passing through point (0,2) and having a slope − 3 ​is `(y−2)=−sqrt3(x−0)` <br> `y−2=− 3x` <br> ​ i.e; `3x+y−2=0` <br> The slope of line parallel to line `3x+y−2=0` is − 3 ​ <br> It is given that the line parallel to line `3x+y−2=0` crosses the y-axis 2 units below the origin i.e; it passes through point (0,−2) <br> Hence, the equation of the line passing point (0,−2) and having a slope `−3` is `P:y−(−2)=−sqrt 3(x−0)` <br> ⇒`y+2=− sqrt3 x` <br> `⇒ sqrt3x+y+2=0`

Equation of the line parallel to x axis and at a distance of 6 units below the axis is
