Write an equation of the line passing through point P(−2, 6) that is parallel to the line x=−5.

The equation of the line is given by:

The equation of a line has the following format:

In which:

Line x = -5 is a horizontal line, thus, it's slope is undefined.

A line parallel will also be horizontal, with undefined slope.

It passes through point P(-2,6), thus, the equation of the line is:

A similar problem is given at link

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x = - 5 means it is a straight vertical line that has no slope. This means that the slope is undefined.

Now, for this line to be parallel to the line passing through point P(−2, 6), it means the line will be a vertical line too with the equation of form (x = a).

Thus, the equation of the line is x = -2
