Question

What is the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (−5, −1)?

y = −5
y = −1
x = −5
x = −1

Answer 1

`\boxed{x=-5}`

Explanation:

The equation of a vertical line that passes through the point
`(x_1,y_1)` is given by;

`x=x_1`

The given point is
`(-5,-1)`.

This implies that,

`x=-5`

is therefore the equation of the vertical line that passes through
`(-5,-1)` .
