Question 518115: write an equation of a line parallel to x=3 and passes through (-3,5)
Answer by oberobic(2304)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The line x=3 is a vertical line that goes through the x-axis at x=3.
You can tell it is vertical because regardless of the value of 'y', x=3.
The change in y / change in x will be undefined because you cannot divide by 0.
The only line where the slope is undefined is a vertical line.
.
So a vertical line that goes through the point (-3,5) is x = -3.
.
Done.
