The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given, pair of lines
$xy = 0, x - 4 = 0 $
$\Rightarrow x = 4$
and $y + 5 = 0$.
The figure is a rectangle.

In which length is 5 unit and breadth is 4 unit
So, area $= 4 \times 5 = 20$ sq unit

Concepts Used:

Horizontal and vertical lines

Horizontal Lines:

  • A horizontal line is a sleeping line that means "side-to-side".
  • These are the lines drawn from left to right or right to left and are parallel to the x-axis.

Equation of the horizontal line:

In all cases, horizontal lines remain parallel to the x-axis. It never intersects the x-axis but only intersects the y-axis. The value of x can change, but y always tends to be constant for horizontal lines.

Vertical Lines:

  • A vertical line is a standing line that means "up-to-down".
  • These are the lines drawn up and down and are parallel to the y-axis.

Equation of vertical Lines:

The equation for the vertical line is represented as x=a,

Here, ‘a’ is the point where this line intersects the x-axis.

x is the respective coordinates of any point lying on the line, this represents that the equation is not dependent on y. 

Horizontal lines and vertical lines are perpendicular to each other.
