Given the point:
(x, y) ==> (-5, 3)
Let's write the equation of the line that passes through the point and is perpendicular to the
x-axis.
Since the line is perpendicular to the x-axis, it will be parallel to the y-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the line will be the x-coordinate of the point.
The line is a vertical line which passes through x = -5
Hence, we have the equation of the line:
x = -5
To graph the line, draw a vertical line that passes through x = -5.
ANSWER:
x = -5
