Linear Equations in x and y

Example 3

Graph the equation 2x=11 on a coordinate plane



Solution

The equation 2x=11 can be written as x+0y= 11 2 . Any ordered pair in the form ( 11 2 ,k ), where k is any real number, satisfies the equation. Thus, the graph of the given equation is a vertical line with 11 2 or 5.5 as its x-intercept. See the figure below.
