Graph the linear equation.
-x = 3

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This equation is a vertical line passing through the point (3,0) on the x-axis. The equation is not dependent on the value of y, so we do not have to plot any points for y. We only need to plot the point (3,0) and draw a vertical line passing through it. The equation x = 3 is a vertical line passing through the point (3,0). The graph of a vertical line cannot be shown accurately on a rectangular coordinate system, but it can be represented using a dot at the point (3,0) to indicate the intersection of the line with the x-axis. Choice A shows a dot on the x-axis at x = 3, indicating the point of intersection.
