Who gets the 1 point if you're given the answer?

thats just what my homework says cause i do online school

noelgreco · Answer

OK.  What does the graph of x = 4 look like?

noelgreco · Answer

Horizontal line, vertical line, or slopy line?

anonymous · Answer

no graph it was just the question but my teacher said the x=4 is vertical

noelgreco · Answer

OK, but graphing helps you see it.  x = 4 is a vertical line because x is ALWAYS equal to 4, it doesn't make any difference what y is equal to.  so the points (4,1), (4, 67) (4, -123456) are all on the line x = 4. OK?

anonymous · Answer

ok is it x=5

noelgreco · Answer

Excellent !

Have you done any graphing on the x-y plane at all?
