Question

Write an equation for the line parallel to the y-axis through the point (5,0)

Answer 1

The y-axis is a vertical line. All the parallel lines to the y-axis will be vertical lines with the following form

`\begin{gathered} x=b \\ b\in\mathfrak{\Re } \end{gathered}`

A vertical line has the same value of x for every point. Since it passes through (5, 0), the line is

`x=5`
