To graph the line x = 4, you need to understand that this equation represents a vertical line. A vertical line means that for all points on the line, the x-coordinate will always be 4, while the y-coordinate can be any value.
Here’s how to graph it:
- Draw the coordinate axes: Start with a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis) that intersect at the origin (0, 0).
- Locate the x-coordinate: Since the equation is x = 4, locate the point on the x-axis where x equals 4. This point will be (4, 0).
- Draw the line: From the point (4, 0), draw a straight vertical line going up and down. This line extends infinitely in both directions.
Make sure to label the line as x = 4 if you’re presenting this on a graph. Remember, every point on this line will have an x-coordinate of 4, while the y-coordinate can take any value, positive or negative.
