Correct option is B
Explanation:
The x-axis is a horizontal line in the Cartesian coordinate plane, where the y-coordinate is always 0.
Therefore, any point on the x-axis has the form (x, 0) , where the value of y is zero, and the value of x can vary.
Thus, the equation representing the x-axis is y = 0 .
Checking the options:
1. Option A: X = 0 : This represents the y-axis, not the x-axis.
2. Option B: Y = 0 : This is the equation of the x-axis, as all points on the x-axis have y = 0 .
3. Option C: X + Y = 0 : This represents a line with a slope of -1, not the x-axis.
4. Option D: X = Y : This represents a line with a slope of 1, not the x-axis.
Final Answer:
Option B) Y = 0
