Answer:

the line defined by the equation x = -3 is parallel to x = -18, and contains the point (-3,5)

Explanation:

Notice that this is a vertical line that goes crosses the x axis at x= -18.

A line parallel to this will also be of the form x = "constant value", meaning that all points in the line must have a fixed x-value. If the line has to go through the point (-3, 5), that that fixed x-value must be "-3".

Therefore the line defined by the equation x = -3 is parallel to x = -18, and contains the point (-3,5)
