Question

3. Find the equation of a line passing through (5, -6) parallel (e) x = 7

Answer 1

Given the equation of the line x = 7

We need to find the equation of the line passing through the point ( 5 , -6 ) and parallel to the given line

The equation of the given line is a special case , because it will be a vertical line like y - axis and parallel to it

All the vertical lines have the general equation : x = a

Where a is x - coordinates

So, the parallel line which is passing through the point ( 5 , -6 ) will be :

`x=5`

See the following figure :
