the equation that is parallel to and passes through (,)
is a vertical line,
Because it is vertical, its slope is undefined.
Anyways, lets look at what might be parallel to the line. Well, all vertical lines are parallel to each other (all horizontal lines are parallel to all other horizontal lines as well). So we need something that is a line that is just ? and runs through the given point. Well, how about the line . This is a line that runs through the point (-5,6) and is parallel to .
