Data Sufficiency

y = 2 has a slope of zero and intercept of 2.

the x intercept is infinity.

i got ur problem now .this fact of urs is conceptually wrong !! intercept are made when the line crosses the X or the Y axis .a parallel line to either X or Y axix is not meeting those axis any where . coz if they were then the lines will not be parallel at first place !!

I agree with your concept of intercept of line. I said infinity because I thought it would be easy to comprehend but I guess it did lead to confusion. Actually x intercept is not defined for line y=2 or any line parallel to x axis.

Actually x intercept is not defined for line y=2 or any line parallel to x axis.

infinity or not defined are same .the fact is that this line is not cutting X axis any where so the intercept which any line makes with coordinates (0 , 0 ) is nil or zero .

nil and zero are 2 different things; zero means origin while nil means not anywhere, which is same as not defined. Also infinity or not defined are not same in everywhere.

zero means origin while nil means not anywhere

i am not sure what it means
but i will put it to rest .i just checked this problem in net . its a prep problem and the answer is E .the reasoning of prep is same as mine .so i guess that concludes it .
