What is the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (−5, −1)? y = −5 y = −1 x = −5 x = −1

Verified Answer :

The equation of any vertical line is \(x=\)

So if we want it to pass through (-5,-1), the y value doesn't matter because our line is vertical, it will hit every y value.  So we look at the x value.  In this case, it's -5.  So if we want it to go through \(x=-5\), the equation will be \(x=-5\)!

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a vertical line passing through the point (−5, −1).

If a vertical line passes through a point (a,b), then the equation of vertical is

\(x=a\)        .... (1)

In the given point the value of a is -5 and the value of b is -1.

Substitute a=-5 in equation (1), to find the equation of vertical line.

\(x=-5\)

The equation of a vertical line is x=-5 which passing through the point (−5, −1).

Therefore the correct option is 3.
