Solution

To determine the nature of the graph represented by the equation x=10 x = -10 , let's break down the options:

  1. Understanding the Equation: The equation x=10 x = -10 represents all points where the x-coordinate is fixed at -10, regardless of the y-coordinate. This means any point of the form (10,y) (-10, y) where y y can be any real number.

  2. Graph Characteristics:

    • Since x x is constant and equal to -10, the graph itself does not change with varying y y . Therefore, the graph cannot curve or change direction since it remains at a fixed x-coordinate.
  3. Possible Descriptions:

    • Option a (Straight line parallel to x-axis): This is incorrect because a line parallel to the x-axis would have a fixed y y -value, not a fixed x x -value.
    • Option b (Straight line parallel to y-axis): This is correct because the line represented by x=10 x = -10 will indeed be vertical, running up and down along the line where x x is always -10.
    • Option c (Straight line in XY plane): While it is a straight line in the XY plane, the description is too vague without indicating its orientation.
    • Option d (Curve in XY plane): This is incorrect as the graph does not curve; it is a straight line.

Conclusion

The correct answer is b. Straight line parallel to y-axis.
