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

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -5 is a vertical line going through the x-axis, so any line that is x = a number will be parallel to it.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
