ax + b = 0 is a linear equation in one variable.

Consider the equation 2x + 4 = 0

2x = -4

x = -2

Since this equation is independent of y, for all values of y, x = -2

Hence x = -2 is a line parallel to the y-axis at x = -2.

Consider the equation y - 5 = 0

y - 5 = 0

y = 5

Since this equation is independent of x, for all values of x, y = 5.

Hence the graph of y = 5 is a line parallel to the x-axis at y = 5.

Note:

The graph of x = a is a line parallel to y-axis at x=a. The graph of y=b is a line parallel to x-axis at y = b.
