graph the line x= -5
---------
Since it's linear, no exponents other than 1, it will be a straight line.
Linear comes from the word line.
-------------
Graphing a straight line requires only 2 points.
For any value of y, x = -5.
Pick two values for y, eg,
(-5,0) and (-5,5)
These points are the same distance from the y-axis, 5 units. So the line is 5 units left of the y-axis and parallel to it, or vertical.
