Question

How do you graph the line \[x = 3\]?

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question, we have been asked to graph the line \[x = 3\]. Now, this line is going to be parallel to the y-axis. Hence, that means that its y-coordinate is going to be zero. The given value of the x-coordinate gives us the offset from the origin vertically, i.e., how far is the line from the origin when you count in the direction of the abscissa.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The given equation of the line is \[x = 3\]. This line is going to be parallel to the y-axis, which means that it is never going to touch the y-axis, i.e., the ordinate of this line is always going to be zero.
Now, we graph the line by taking three points right (because the value of \[x\] is positive) of the origin in the direction of the x-axis.

Note: In this question, we only need to know one thing – when is the line going to be parallel to x-axis and when to the y-axis. Then we just count the number of points in that orientation, plot it on the graph and we are going to get the answer.
