How do you write a line parallel to x=-5 and goes through point (1,-2)? Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Equations of Parallel Lines 1 Answer Wataru Nov 13, 2014 Since x=-5 is a vertical line, the line we are looking for is also a vertical line, whose equation is of the form x=a. Since it goes through (1,-2), the equation must be x=1. I hope that this was helpful. Answer link Related questions Are two lines with the same slope and y intercept considered to be parallel?
