Question

  1. colt and sasha were debated which graph was for the equation $x = 5$. colt claims graph a, while sasha claims graph b. who is correct? explain.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The equation $x=5$ represents a vertical line where every point on the line has an $x$-coordinate of 5, regardless of the $y$-value. Graph A is a horizontal line (which would represent an equation like $y=k$ where $k$ is a constant), while Graph B is a vertical line at $x=5$.

Answer:

Sasha is correct. The equation $x=5$ graphs as a vertical line, which matches Graph B.
