Question

What is the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (−5, −1)?

y = −5
y = −1
x = −5
x = −1

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{x=-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a vertical line that passes through the point $(x_1,y_1)$ is given by;

$x=x_1$

The given point is $(-5,-1)$.

This implies that,

$x=-5$  

is therefore the equation of the vertical  line that passes through  $(-5,-1)$ .
