Question

How do you graph `x=-5` using intercepts?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The equation `x = -5` represents a vertical line.

This means for each and every value of `y` then `x` is equal to `-5`

Therefore, the `x`-intercept when `y` equals `0` is: `-5` or `(-5, 0)`

Because the value of `x` is also `-5` it will never equal `0` therefore there is no `y`-intercept.

We can graph the lines as:

graph{((x+5)^2+y^2-0.025)(0.000001y + 100000x+500000) = 0 [-10, 10, - 5, 5]}
