Question

What does it mean
Describe the graphs of the following equations.

Answer 1

The problems are
1.x=2
2.x=-1
3.y=-3
4.y=4

Answer 2

I dont get what to do...

Answer 3

So, if the graph is a horizontal line, then it will have an equation of 'y = ..." where the value would be the y coordinate for all the points on the line

If the graph is a vertical line, then the equation is "x = ...", where the value is the x-coordinate.

Maybe that will help? (It would be better to have the actual graph)

Answer 4

Still confused :(

Answer 5

It doesn't have a graph.

Answer 6

Ohh, nevermind, I just got what the question was asking!

Okay, well, the graph of something of "x=..." is a vertical line always on the point (x,0), where x is the value given after the "x=".
The graph of "y=..." is a horizontal line always on (0,y), where y is the value given after the "y=".

So, a graph of "x=2" would be a vertical line through (2,0).
A graph of "x=-1" would be a vertical line through (-1,0)
The graph of "y=-3" would be a horizontal line through (0,-3)
y=4 is a horizontal line through point (0,4)

Answer 7

so do I make a graph?

Answer 8

No, they only ask to 'describe' the graph. It should be enough.

Answer 9

So I just write (2,0) and so on?

Answer 10

Yeah. "x=2 is a vertical line through (2,0)" and so on.

Answer 11

Ok then I think I'm starting to get it now Thanks.
