Quiz: What type of line is drawn by the equation x = 3?

[FedPete]

I had a (wrong) answer, as in No line for x = 3.

Because it’s just a single value (x = 3), no additional properties.
What would be an additional ax? Or maybe three axes …

Like Y-ax = infinitive

@FedPete, apologies for missing your post, it wasn’t tagged with “math”.
Hopefully I covered this in your other post here, where we talked about how x = c makes a vertical line:

Math - Linear Equations

@FedPete, you’re actually not that far off and that kind of creative thinking is a powerful tool when it comes to understanding math. If you consider a horizontal line on an ordinary x-y graph. The formula for that is, y = 0x + c, which cancels down to y = c. Now if you flip the axes (so y runs along the horizontal) and graph the exact same horizontal line on your new a y-x graph, then you have x = 0y + c, or x = c. Finally, you can flip the axes back to the correct x-y orientation but keep …
