vertical line that passes through points (2, 5)?

It would be x = 2, but why would it be?
Because... if you graphed the line x = 2, first of all you would see the graph as a vertical line, because for every value of y, x would equal 2. So that also means that when y equals 5, x would equal 2, or that the vertical line, x = 2 passes through the point (2,5). If you graphed the line y = 2, you would have a horizontal line which for all values of x, would have a y-value of 2.

awesome_m,
sqtpepper has bailed you out, not requiring you to make a commitment.
You must learn the material. Commit yourself to being right or leaning why you were not. No more of this wisht-washy stuff.
Here's a casual scale to consider:
Just Plain Irritating - I have no clue!
Wishy-washy - I'm not sure this is right.
A little confidence - I think this is right
Confidence - I believe this is the answer, and here is why I believe it...
Misplaced Confidence - This is the answer and anyone who says it isn't is an idiot.
