For your convenience, I copy and paste that solution here AGAIN 


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
