Question
An equation of the form $x=k$ where $k$ is a constant represents the graph of a ______ line.
Step 1
Here, $k$ is a constant, which means it is a fixed value. The equation is saying that $x$, which represents the horizontal position on a graph, is always equal to this fixed value $k$. Show more…

Linear Equations in Two Variables and Linear Functions
A line having an equation of the form $y=k x,$ where $k$ is a real number, $k \neq 0,$ will always pass through the origin. To graph such an equation by hand, we can determine a second point and then join the origin and that second point with a straight line. Use this method to graph each line. $$y=-2 x$$
