Write the equations for the x and y-axes

Solution:

The equation of a line is a linear equation in two variables that is satisfied by each and every point on the line.

• The y-coordinate of every point on the x-axis is 0.
  Therefore, the equation of the x-axis is y = 0.
   
• The x-coordinate of every point on the y-axis is 0.
  Therefore, the equation of the y-axis is x = 0
