Question

Write an equation for the line that passes through the point (3,6) and is parallel to x = 8. A. x = 3 B. x=6 OC. y = 8 OD. y = 6​

Answer 1

Answer: A. x = 3

Explanation:

I have graphed x = 8 and the point (3, 6). See attached.

We know that options C and D are incorrect because they are y = equations and not x = equations like the one given, so they will not be parallel to x = 8.

Lastly, our point is (3, 6) with a value of x = 3. This gives us a parallel equation that goes through that point (I have added x = 3 to the graph attached as well);

x = 3
