Draw the graph of each of the following equations:

(i) x = 5


(ii) y = -2


(iii) x + 6 = 0


(iv) x + 7 = 0


(v) y = 0


(vi) x = 0


(i) The given equation is x = 5


A line requires minimum of two points to be plot.


Thus we get the following table:


x



5



5



y



1



-1



Plot points A (5,1) and B (5,-1) on the graph paper.


Join AB.



The line AB is the required graph.


(ii) The given equation is y = -2


A line requires minimum of two points to be plot.


Thus we get the following table:


x



1



2



y



-2



-2



Plot points A(1,-2) and B(2,-2) on the graph paper.


Join AB.



The line AB is the required graph


(iii) The given equation is x + 6 = 0, which means x = -6


A line requires minimum of two points to be plot.


Thus we get the following table:


x



-6



-6



y



1



-1



Plot points A (-6,1) and B (-6,-1) on the graph paper.


Join AB.



The line AB is the required graph


(iv) The given equation is x + 7 = 0, which means x = -7


A line requires minimum of two points to be plot.


Thus we get the following table:


x



-7



-7



y



1



-1



Plot points A (-7,1) and B (-7,-1) on the graph paper.


Join AB.



The line AB is the required graph


(v) Y =0 represents the x – axis



(vi) x = 0 represents y – axis
