Question

1. graph x = -0.5.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall line - graph rule

The equation \(x = a\) represents a vertical line passing through the point \((a,0)\) on the \(x\) - axis. Here \(a=-0.5\).

Step2: Plot the line

On the coordinate - plane, find the point \(-0.5\) on the \(x\) - axis. Then draw a straight vertical line passing through this point. The line will extend infinitely in both the positive and negative \(y\) - directions.

Answer:

Draw a vertical line passing through the point \((-0.5,0)\) on the \(x\) - axis, which extends infinitely in the positive and negative \(y\) - directions.
