Question

If the point P(-5,-2) lies on a line parallel to y axis,then what is the equation of the line

Answer 1

Answer:

the x co-ordinate of a point its distance from the Y-axis and y co-ordinate is its from the x-axis.

The point of intersection of the line parallel to Y-axis at a distances -5 units from it to its left and the line parallel to X-axis at a distance -2 units below it is (−5,−2). The equation of the parallel to Y-axis at a distance -5 units from it to its left is x=−2
