Question 1061235: Write an equation in slope-intercept form that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation. (4,2) x = -3
I know how to solve it when it is an equation like y = x + b, just not when I'm only given x.

All you have to know is +x+=+-3+ is a vertical line that
passes through ( -3, 0 ) . It also goes through ( -3, y ) where
+y+ can be any number + or -
----------------------------------
That means you want a vertical line that passes through the point
( 4,2 ) . As with the other vertical line, it goes through ( 4, 0 ),
and the equation is +x+=+4+
