    Question

    Which of the following equations represent a line parallel to y-axis?

    A.

    y = 3

    B.

    x + 3 = 4 – 2x

    C.

    2x + y = 0

    D.

    y – 2 = 1

    Correct option is B

    Concept Used:
    A line parallel to the y-axis is a vertical line.
    The general equation of a vertical line is x = k, where k is a constant.
    Solution:
    Option A: y = 3 
    Form: y = k  (where k = 3).
    Interpretation: This is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis, not the y-axis.
    Conclusion: Not parallel to the y-axis.
    Option B: x + 3 = 4 - 2x 
    x + 3 = 4 - 2x
    x + 2x = 4 - 3
    3x = 1 x=131 \implies x = \frac{1}{3}
    Form: x =13. \frac{1}{3}.
    Conclusion: Parallel to the y-axis.
    Option C: 2x + y = 0 
    Rewrite in slope-intercept form:
    y = -2x
    Interpretation: This is a line with a slope of  -2 , which is neither horizontal nor vertical.
    Conclusion: Not parallel to the y-axis.
    Option D: y - 2 = 1 
    y2=1 y=3y - 2 = 1 \implies y = 3
    Form: y = 3.
    Interpretation: This is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis, not the y-axis.
    Conclusion: Not parallel to the y-axis.
    The equation that represents a line parallel to the y-axis is Option B x + 3 = 4 - 2x , which simplifies to x =13.= \frac{1}{3}.
