Question

graph the line x = -1

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the line equation

The equation \( x = - 1 \) represents a vertical line. In a coordinate plane, a vertical line has an undefined slope and all points on the line have an \( x \)-coordinate of \(-1\) regardless of the \( y \)-coordinate.

Step2: Locate the x - value on the graph

Find the point on the \( x \)-axis where \( x=-1 \). Then, draw a straight vertical line passing through this point. This line will be parallel to the \( y \)-axis and will include all points with \( x = - 1 \) (e.g., \((-1,0)\), \((-1,1)\), \((-1, - 1)\) etc.).

Answer:

To graph \( x=-1 \), draw a vertical line passing through the point \((-1, y)\) for all real - valued \( y\) (a vertical line parallel to the \( y\) - axis and intersecting the \( x\) - axis at \( x = - 1\)).
