e an equation for the line described. Write the equation in the form specified.

To find an equation for a line that is parallel to , we first note that the line is a vertical line. Lines parallel to vertical lines are also vertical, which means they have the same form. However, we need to pass through the point . Therefore, the corresponding vertical line will be .

Since the options given are either horizontal or vertical, we can further clarify: a line parallel to a vertical line like will never take the form of (a horizontal line), which means options A and B can be disregarded. So, for our specific case passing through , the answer is of the form .

The correct equation is not listed among your choices here, so it’s a good opportunity to remember that vertical lines are characterized by a constant value, while horizontal lines are defined by a constant value.

Remember, when you’re asked to find the equation of a line parallel to a vertical line, think about the x-coordinate of the point it passes through! Always take cues from the coordinates you’re given.
