Q. The line represented by the equation 3.4y=0 is graphed in the xy-plane. Which of the following statements correctly describes the graph of the line?
Simplify equation: The first step is to simplify the equation by dividing both sides by 3.4 to solve for y. The equation becomes y=0/3.4, which simplifies to y=0.
Determine graph: Now that we have the simplified equation y=0, we can determine the graph of the line. The equation y=0 represents a horizontal line that crosses the y-axis at the point (0,0). Since the value of y is always 0, no matter what the value of x is, this line is horizontal and lies on the x-axis.
