Mrs. Aitken’s Integrated 1 MathUnit 8 Linear Equations as Modelsrise change in y −2 −( −2) 0slope = = = = = 0run change in x 2 −5 −3The slope is zero. The y-coordinate of all the points on this line is –2.The equation of the line is y = -2.Example 2Graph the equation 4x – 24 = 0 on the coordinate plane.Solution 2Most linear equations have two variables in them. When a linear equation has only onevariable, you know that the line is either horizontal or vertical, depending on the variableinvolved.Solve for x4x− 24=0+ 24 + 244x= 244x24=4 4x = 6To graph this line, plot several points (x, y) where the value of x is 6.(6, 0), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 6)8-3 <strong>Horizontal</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Vertical</strong> <strong>Lines</strong>
