The line x = -1 is a vertical line, since it has a specific x-coordinate and no y-coordinate.

A line parallel to a vertical line is also a vetical line, so our line will have the equation x = b, where we need to find the value of b.

Since our line passes through the point (8, 4), we know that its x-coordinate will be 8, so our line is x = 8.

Drawing the lines (x = -1 in blue and x = 8 in green), we have:

The answer that should be graphed is just the green line.
