Question

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4)?

y=-6
y = 4

Answer 1

x = - 5

Explanation:

The line with equation x = - 2 is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis.

A parallel line will also have the equation

x = c

where c is the value opf the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (- 5, 4) with x- coordinate - 5, thus

x = - 5 ← equation of parallel line
