Write the equation of the line parallel to Y-axis and passing through the point

i) (–4, 0)


ii) (2, 0)


iii) (3, 5)


iv) (–4, –3)

i). We are given the co-ordinates of the Cartesian plane at (-4,0)


For the equation of the line parallel to y-axis, we assume the equation as a one variable equation independent of y containing x equal to -4


We get the equation,


x = -4


ii). We are given the co-ordinates of the Cartesian plane at (2,0)


For the equation of the line parallel to y-axis, we assume the equation as a one variable equation independent of y containing x equal to 2


We get the equation,


x = 2


iii). We are given the co-ordinates of the Cartesian plane at (3,5)


For the equation of the line parallel to y-axis, we assume the equation as a one variable equation independent of y containing x equal to 3


We get the equation,


x = 3


iv). We are given the co-ordinates of the Cartesian plane at (-4,-3)


For the equation of the line parallel to y-axis, we assume the equation as a one variable equation independent of y containing x equal to -4


We get the equation,


x = -4
