Explanation:

Step1: Recall line - graph rule

The equation $x = 5$ represents a vertical line.

Step2: Identify points on the line

For any value of $y$, $x$ is always 5. So points on the line are $(5,0),(5,1),(5, - 1)$ etc.

Step3: Graph the line

Draw a straight vertical line passing through $x = 5$ on the x - axis.

Answer:

A vertical line passing through the point $(5,0)$ on the x - axis, where for all real - valued $y$, $x = 5$.
