What are horizontal or vertical line graphs?

A horizontal has the equation #y=b# with #b# any constant number
A vertical has the equation #x=c# with #c# any constant number

A normal linear equation is mostly of the form #y=mx+b#
where #m# is the slope. In a horizontal graph, the slope is 0.
The #b# (called the #y#-intercept) tells you where the graph crosses the #y#-axis.

For the vertical graph a similar story goes and #c# is called the #x#-intercept.
