What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = –2 and passes through the point (–5, 4)?

The line x = –2 is vertical, so any line parallel to it is also vertical and has the form x = a. Passing through (–5, 4) means every point on the line has x-coordinate –5, so the equation is x = –5, choice A.
