Question

How do you graph the equation by plotting points `x=-5`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

This equation states for each and every value of `y`, `x` will equal `-5`.

We can select two points to plot:

Point 1: For `y = -2`, `x = -5` or `(-5, -2)`

Point 1: For `y = 2`, `x = -5` or `(-5, 2)`

We can plot these points as:

#graph{((x+5)^2 + (y+2)^2 - 0.025)((x+5)^2 + (y-2)^2 - 0.025) = 0}

We can now draw a line through the two points to graph the equation:

#graph{(y+ 1000x+5000)((x+5)^2 + (y+2)^2 - 0.025)((x+5)^2 + (y-2)^2 - 0.025) = 0}
