Question

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4)?

O x=-5
O X= 4
O y=-5
O y = 4

Answer 1

The equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4) is x=-5

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

We need to find equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4)

We need a line parallel to x=-2 or x+2=0 it should be of form x+k=0

We need to find k, by putting value of x=-5 as given in question the point(-5,4)

-5+k=0

k=5

So, the equation of line will be found by putting k=5:

x+k=0

x+5=0

x=-5

So, the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4) is x=-5

Option A is correct.
