Question

Plot the graph of line $x{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}5$.

Answer 1

When we are to plot the graph $x = k$ then the straight line parallel to the y-axis would be there passing through the point $x = k$ . The line would be vertical as the line $y = 0$ that is y-axis is also vertical on the graph.

Complete step by step solution:
Step 1 Draw a horizontal line first and name its x-axis.
Step 2. then draw a vertical line intersecting the x-axis in the middle and name its y-axis.
Step 3. Name the point of intersection as O. where O represents the origin.
Step 4. Draw the markings from 1 to 5 on the x-axis which will occur on the right-hand side of the origin and make sure the markings would be equidistant to each other.

Step 5 . Encircle the point $x = 5$

Step 6. Draw a straight line parallel to y axis passing through the point $x = 5$ that you encircled.

Step 7. Name the line l which is the required graph of $x = 5$

Note:

1. We know that the graph basically consists of two axes ; x-axis and y-axis.
2. x-axis is the horizontal one whereas the y –axis is the vertical one.
3. If we plot the graph $x = k$ , the line would be parallel to the y axis passing through $x = k$ i.e. the vertical line would be there.
4. If we have to plot the graph of $y = p$ , the line would be parallel to the x axis passing through the point $x = k$ a horizontal line would be there.
5. If we have to plot the graph of line $x = y$ then a straight line passing through the origin would be there. This line is neither horizontal nor vertical.
