Question

Write an equation that is parallel to the line x=16; containing the point (-2,6)

Answer 1

x = - 2

Explanation:

x = 16 is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis.

Thus a parallel line will also be vertical with equation

x = c

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

The line passes through (- 2, 6) with x- coordinate - 2 , thus

x = - 2 ← equation of parallel line
