Question

Find the equation of a straight line parallel to y-axis and passing through point (-3,5).

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,
The line is parallel to the Y-axis.
Hence it must be of the form x=a where a is a constant.
It is given that it passes through (-3,5)
Hence, x=-3 is the equation of the line.
Regards.
