Find the equation of a line parallel to the y - axis at a distance of

(i) 6 units to its right


(ii) 3 units to its left


(i) Equation of line parallel to y - axis is given by x = constant, as the x - coordinate of every point on the line parallel to y - axis is 6 i.e. constant. Now the point lies to the right of y - axis means in the positive direction of x - axis,


So, required equation of line is x = 6.


(ii) Equation of line parallel to y - axis is given by x = constant, as the x - coordinate of every point on the line parallel to y - axis is - 3. Now point lies to the left of y - axis means in the negative direction of x - axis,


So, required equation of line is given as x = - 3.
