Which pair of points lies on a line parallel to the $x$ -axis?

Class 9Figures on the Coordinate PlaneCoordinate Geometry

A(5, 2) and (5, −3)
B(2, 5) and (−3, 5)
C(0, 5) and (5, 0)
D(2, 5) and (5, 2)

Step-by-Step Solution

A line parallel to the

x

-axis keeps

y

fixed. Only (2, 5) and (−3, 5) share the same

y

-coordinate (5). (5, 2) and (5, −3) share

x

, so they lie on a line parallel to the

y

-axis.

Answer: B) (2, 5) and (−3, 5)
