Question

Plot the graph of line \[x = 5\].

Answer 1

Hint: Here we will use the basic cartesian plane to draw the line on the graph. A line is a straight line segment. So, we will draw a line which is passing through the point which has a coordinate of \[x = 5\].

Complete step by step solution:
It is given that the line is passing through the point having \[x\] coordinate as 5. Since the value of \[x\] is constant, the line will be passing through the point which is at a distance of 5 on the \[x\]-axis from the origin. This line will be parallel to the \[y\]-axis as the value of \[x\] will be constant.
Now we will draw the graph.

Any line will parallel to the \[y\]-axis if it has a constant value of \[x\] coordinate and the line will be parallel to \[x\]-axis if it has a constant value of \[y\] coordinate.
Hence, on the above graph line \[x = 5\] is represented.

Note: The \[x\] axis is the infinite lines in the Cartesian plane. We should note that while writing the coordinates of a point always the \[x\]-axis intercept of the point is written first and then the \[y\]-axis intercept is written.
Also in the representation of this axis in the Cartesian plane are perpendicular to each other and intersection point of the two axis is called the origin.
We should remember that the positive \[x\]-axis is towards the right side of the origin and negative \[x\]-axis is towards the left side of the origin. Also the positive \[y\]-axis is towards the upward direction from the origin and negative \[y\]-axis is towards the downward direction from the origin.
