Question

The equation of the line through point (-5, 0) and parallel to the y-axis is

x = -5
y = -5
x + y = -5

Answer 1

The correct answer is x = -5, because the line would go through the point (-5, 0) and is vertical so it would be parallel to the y-axis. I hope I helped!

Answer 2

x = -5

Explanation:

Any line parallel to y - axis has undefined slope and the line is in the form x =k.

Here, k is the x- coordinate of the point through which the line is passing.

Now, we have been given that the line is passing through the point (-5, 0).

Therefore, the value of k is -5.

Hence, the equation of the line through point (-5, 0) and parallel to the y-axis is x = -5.

First option is correct.
