Question

Write an equation of the line passing through point p(-2,6) that is parallel to the line x=-5

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph of the line x = -2  is also attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the line

x=-5

x=-5 represents the vertical. We know that the slope of a vertical line is undefined. Thus, the slope of x=-5 is undefined.

Since parallel lines have the same slopes, it means the line which is supposed to be the parallel line to the given line and passing through p(-2, 6) must also be in the form (x = a).

As the line passes through (-2, 6). As the line is vertical, meaning no matter what the value of y is, the x-value remains the same.

Thus, the equation of the line would be x = -2

The graph of the line x = -2  is also attached below.
