Find the equation of the parallel to x–axis and passing through (3, –5).

Given: A line which is parallel to

   

and passing through

   

By using the formula,

The equation of line:

   

We know that the parallel lines have equal slopes

And, the slope of

   

is always

   

Then

The slope of line,

   

Coordinates of line are

   

The equation of line

   

Now, substitute the values, we get

   

   

∴ The equation of line is
