Question 1136221: 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) Answer by ikleyn(52894) (Show Source):
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
