Question

is the graph of this equation a horizontal or vertical line?
x = 5
horizontal line vertical line

Explanation:

The equation \( x = 5 \) represents a vertical line because for any value of \( y \), the \( x \)-coordinate remains 5. Vertical lines have equations of the form \( x = a \) (where \( a \) is a constant), while horizontal lines have equations of the form \( y = b \) (where \( b \) is a constant).

Answer:

vertical line
