The linear function is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=d3722a0df806b8504b8c7a959368920f.png\")
.
Observe the function; there is no y component.
\So, line is parallel to y axis.
\Check:
\The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.
\0 = 1 (Substitute 0 for x)
\It is not possible. So, the graph never crosses the y - axis.![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/userfiles/image/steps_images/step2.JPG\")
The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.

(Substitute 0 for y)
The x - intercept is 8. The graph crosses the x - axis at (1, 0).![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/userfiles/image/steps_images/step3.JPG\")
\
Draw the graph, line passes through (1, 0) and parallel to y - axis.
\ \Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.
\1. Draw a coordinate plane
\2. Plot the points
\3. Draw a line through these points.
