Question

Write the equation of the line which passes through (5, –2) and is parallel to x = 4. Please help.

Answer 1

Anything parallel to x = 4 will be x = k where k is any number

Answer 2

ex: x = 5, x = 6, x = 9 are all parallel to x = 4

Answer 3

How do we guarantee that this parallel line goes through (5, -2)?

Answer 4

I have no idea... Sorry.
I just really dont get it.

Answer 5

That's ok

Answer 6

x = 4 is a vertical line that passes through 4 on the x axis

Answer 7

all points on this line are points like (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4)...etc

all points on this line have an x coordinate of 4

Answer 8

ooooh. okay this makes more sense now

Answer 9

so what do you get
