Assertion (A): y + 5 = 0 is the equation of line parallel to x-axis and at a distance of 5 units in negative direction from it.

Reason (R): All points on the line y = a, the value of abscissa (x-coordinate) = a.

  1. A is true, R is false.
  2. A is false, R is true.
  3. Both A and R are true.
  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

A is true, R is false.

Explanation

y + 5 = 0

⇒ y = -5

This represents a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis) because the y-coordinate remains constant at -5 for all values of x. The line is 5 units below the x-axis since the y-coordinate of every point is −5, which is 5 units in the negative direction from the x-axis.

∴ Assertion (R) is true.

All points on the line y = a, the value of ordinate (y-coordinate) = a.

∴ Reason (R) is false.

Hence, Assertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is false.
