Question

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express your answer using either the general form or the slope–intercept form of the equation of a line, whichever you prefer.

Parallel to the line$x=5$, containing the point$(4,2)$

Short answer

The equation of line is$x=4$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given Information 

The given point is$(4,2)$ and the equation of parallel line is$x=5$

Step 2. Calculation  

It is clear that $x=5$is a vertical line which implies that line parallel to it is also a vertical line and the equation of vertical line can be obtained by $x=a$

Thus, the point given is $x=4,y=2$which implies that $a=4$

Hence, the required equation of line is$x=4$
