Equations of horizontal and vertical lines

Full solution

Q. Is the graph of this equation a horizontal or vertical line?

\newline

x = -1

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)horizontal line

\newline

(B)vertical line

Analyze Equation: Analyze the equation of the line: $\newline$ The equation given is $x = -1$ . This equation indicates that no matter what the value of $y$ is, the value of $x$ will always be $-1$ .
Determine Orientation: Determine the orientation of the line: $\newline$ Since the value of $x$ is constant and does not depend on $y$ , the line will be parallel to the $y$ -axis. This means that for every point on the line, $x$ will always be $-1$ , and $y$ can be any number.
Conclude Line Type: Conclude the type of line: $\newline$ A line that is parallel to the y-axis is a vertical line. Therefore, the graph of the equation $x = -1$ is a vertical line.
