∙ 12y ago-- Take a piece of graph paper.
-- Draw upon it a set of 'x' and 'y' axes.
-- Number some part of both axes.
-- With a pencil, draw dots at a few points where [ x = 5 ].
What do you notice about all the points where x=5 ?
All of the points where x=5 are the same distance from the y-axis.
Since the y-axis is a vertical line, all of the points where x=5 form
another vertical line, parallel to the y-axis.
-- With a pencil of a different color, draw dots at a few points where [ y = -5 ].
What do you notice about all the points where y=-5 ?
All of the points where y=-5 are the same distance from the x-axis.
Since the x-axis is a horizontal line, all of the points where y=-5 form
another horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis.

What equation always equals 5?
The equation of a vertical line x = 5 or the equation of a horizontal line y = 5.
Graph the line y equals 5?
y= -5
Is point 1 4 on the line represented by the equation x plus 2y equals 5?
The equation "x plus 2y equals 5" is: x + 2y = 5 2y = 5 - x y = 5/2 - 1/2x y = -1/2x + 5/2
What is the slope of the equation 5x plus 4y equals 8?
The slope is defined as the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between two points on a line, or in other words, the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line. Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a line, the slope m of the line isFor equation:5x + 4y = 8the two intercepts are: (0,2) and (8/5,0)The slope = (2-0)/(0-8/5) = - 10/8 = - 5/4
What is 3y equals 4x plus 15?
this is an equation of a line. it has a slope of 4/3 and a y-intercept of 5
What equation always equals 5?
The equation of a vertical line x = 5 or the equation of a horizontal line y = 5.
What is the equation of horizontal and vertical?
The equation of a horizontal line is y = constant (e.g you might have y=2 if your horizontal line is 2 up the y axis).For a vertical line the equation will be x=constant so if you wanted the equstion of the vertical line that crosses the x axis at 5 it would be x=5.If you want the equations of the horizontal and vertical axis then they are:horizontal axis: y=0vertical axis: x=0
The linear equation 6x - 5 graphs as a horizontal vertical or diagonal line?

What is the slope of the line y equals -5?
That line is horizontal on the graph. Its slope is zero.
Does every line has a y-intercept?
No because a line can be a vertical line so say you have the equation x=5. Then a vertical line would pass through the x intercept 5 and be vertical thus not having a y intercept. All horizontal lines have a y intercept
What is the slope of y equals 5?
That line is horizontal on the graph. Its slope is zero.
What is the graph for y equals 5?
It is a horizontal line 5 units above the x-axis.
How deep is 5 meters?
Fve meters equals 16.4042 feet, it doesn't matter whether it is a vertical or horizontal measurement.
How do you graph x equals a number?
If x equals a constant number, the graph will be a vertical line. For example, the graph of x = 5 would be a vertical line that goes through the point (5,0). x equals 5 on every point along this lines.
How do you graph y equals 5?
It is a horizontal line (slope of 0) which intersects the coordinate (0,5).
What is the slope of the line x equals a constant value?
A line with the equation:x = a constant valueis a vertical line. Examples of such a line are x = 3, x = 5, x = 10, x = -4.The slope of a vertical line is infinite.
How do you divide a square into 10 equal pieces with 6 lines?
by drawing 5 horizontal line interval between = 1/5 L and one vertical line in mid we get 10 equal pieces
