To find the equation of a line that passes through the point (0, 2) and is parallel to the line x = 9, i need to determine the slope of the given line. Since the line is vertical, its slope is undefined. However, i know that any two vertical lines are parallel. Therefore, the slope of the line we are looking for is also undefined.

The equation of a line with undefined slope passing through the point (0, 2) can be written as x = 0. This is because the line is vertical and passes through the x-coordinate of the given point.

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (0, 2) and is parallel to the line x = 9 is x = 0
