Please post your choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-1 y=-5 x=-1 x=-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What..how can those be your choices? Check again please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The choices should be equations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = −5 y = −1 x = −5 x = −1 this is what is says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't make any sense.. Are you sure those choices go to this question? "What is the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (−5, −1)?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i am sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is why im so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you do FLVS or something else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

flvs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I get it. In general, the equation of the vertical line that passes through the point (a,b) will be x = a. So your answer is x = -5.
