Question

Can somebody please tell me how to do this ?
Write the equation of the line which passes through (5, -2) and is parallel to x = 4.

anonymous · Answer

well x = 4 is a vertical line so the line that passes through (5, -2) must also be vertical.

anonymous · Answer

Is there some sort of equation that goes along with this or something ?

anonymous · Answer

it's just another x=something equation

anonymous · Answer

Can you explain a little more how to do it, please? I'm honestly lost on this!

anonymous · Answer

okay, all vertical lines are parallel to each other right?

anonymous · Answer

so the line parallel to x = 4, which is a vertical line, must also be a vertical line. So far so good?

anonymous · Answer

Yep

anonymous · Answer

ide say y=4x-22 bro-ski

anonymous · Answer

there is only one vertical line that passes through (5, -2)
