Question

parallel, coinciding, or perpendicular?
y=-3
x=6
How do you solve this?

noelgreco · Answer

When you see a linear equation with only one variable it means that the "missing" variable can have any value.  For y=-3, y is always -3 reagrdless of the value of x.  Therefore, the following points would be on it's graph(-7,-3), (101,-3), (5,-3) etc.  Therefore it is a horizontal line.

Apply the same logic to x=6, and the answer to the question will be apparent.
