Question 1136196: Find an equation of a line parallel to the given line that contains the given point. Write the equation in slope-intercept form. (If the equation is a vertical line, use the form x = a.)
line
x − 2 = 0,
point
(1, −2)
Line x-2 = 0 is vertical line x= 2.
Any parallel to it is a vertical line, too, with the equation x = c, where "c" is a constant term.
Since the line x= c must go through the point (1,-2), its equation must be
x = 1. ANSWER
Answer by MathLover1(20850) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! the equation in slope-intercept form:
given:
=> is a vertical line (has undefined slope),
point
(, )
a line parallel to the given line has same slope; so, this is also vertical line (has undefined slope)
and it is
