All the y-values must be the same to make horizontal lines.

• True

• False

The distance from the y-axis is the same number we use for the x-coordinate.

• True

• False

The steeper the line, the farther the line is from the -axis.

• True

• False

Horizontal lines are parallel to the _____-axis.

• x

• y

I want a line to pass through the origin and bisect the coordinate plane. Choose the correct rule.

• y = 3x

• y = x-7

• y = x + 4

• y = x
