A line is parallel to one of the coordinate axes. Explain what this tells you about each form of equation:
vector equation
parametric equations
symmetric equation
slope y-intercept form
standard form

You didn't say how many dimensions you are working in. I assumed 3. If the line is parallel to the z-axis for example, only z would vary. x and y would be constants. It would be similar if the line was parallel to one of the other axes.

so i visit anticipate the line is parallel to the y = 0 airplane, then the line is : X = Xo + a t, Y = Yo , Z=Zo + c t for parametric { others exist} and [X - Xo] / a = [Y-Yo] / 0 = [Z-Zo] / c is the symmetric equations..."branch by technique of 0" potential acceptable is 0

Hint: Answer separately depending on which axis it is parallel to.
