First solve for x
3x%2B4=x-6

Subtract 4 from both sides 3x=x-10

Subtract x from both sides 2x=-10

Divide both sides by 2 x=-5.

Graph the line for x=-5.

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
this equation defines a vertical line.

  • X intercept: -5. X intercept is the intersection of the line with the x axis.

  • Y intercept: not defined (the line IS vertical)

  • Slope: not defined, can be thought of as infinite
