Given the equation of the line x = 7
We need to find the equation of the line passing through the point ( 5 , -6 ) and parallel to the given line
The equation of the given line is a special case , because it will be a vertical line like y - axis and parallel to it
All the vertical lines have the general equation : x = a
Where a is x - coordinates
So, the parallel line which is passing through the point ( 5 , -6 ) will be :
[tex]x=5[/tex]
See the following figure :
