The line x = 3 is a vertical line parallel to the Y-axis on the Cartesian plane. It passes through all points (x, y) that have x-value equal to 3 and any y-value.
Any line parallel to x = 3 will also be vertical and parallel to the Y-axis. If such a line passes through (-4,3), then its x-value is -4. Thus, the equation of such a line is x = -4.
