How do you graph # x= -2#?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

Vertical line through #(-2,0)#

This is the equation of a vertical line.

It cannot be written in slope-intercept form because it does not cross the y-axis and does not have a y-intercept.

The slope is undefined because there is no change in the x-values from one point to the next.

For any y value you choose, the x-value will be -2.

The x-intercept is at #(-2, 0)#

To graph the equation (x = -2), you would draw a vertical line passing through the point (-2, 0) on the x-axis.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
