Correct answer: A
-
Let the point of intersection of the two lines be .
The given lines are
-
We need the line parallel to the -axis passing through their intersection point.
A line parallel to the -axis has equation So we only need the -coordinate of the intersection point.
-
Solve for .
Multiply equation (1) by :
Multiply equation (2) by :
-
Add (3) and (4):
Since , we have Hence,
-
Substitute into equation (1):
Also, substituting into equation (2):
Since and are not both zero, the common relation is
-
Therefore, the required line is
This is a line parallel to the -axis, lying below the -axis at a distance
-
Checking options:
- A: below the -axis at a distance of ✔️
- B: below the -axis at a distance of ✘
- C: above the -axis at a distance of ✘
- D: above the -axis at a distance of ✘
Hence, the correct option is A.
