Question 60731: I was given a worksheet with the following question on it:
X = 8
a. Identify m:
b. What type of line is it?
c. Create a Table.
d. Graph the equation.
Over to the right was a blank graph and a chart that had an "x" and a "y" at the top and a space to put 5 numbers under each.
Does that mean that it will be a verticle line with a slope (M) of 0? Also since X = 8 does that mean all the numbers under "X" are 8 and I just pick points to plot for "Y"?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
GIVEN X=8 AND YOUR TRYING TO IDENTIFY AND PLOT A LINE WITH THE FORMULA Y=mX+b
THEN TO HAVE X=8.
THIS IS A VERTICLE LINE THAT PASSES THROUGH THE POINT (8,0) AND HAS AN UNDEFINED SLOPE, AND NO Y INTERCEPT.
