Question

How do you graph the equation `y=x`?

Answer 1

`y=x` is an equation. And just like any equation, if we set `x` equal to something, we can solve for `y`.

Let's se `x=0`. That means `y=0`. So our first coordinate pair is `(0,0)`.

Now let's use a different number, say, `10`. `x=10`, so `y=10`. Thus, the coordinate is `(10, 10)`.

I'm noticing a pattern here. `x` and `y` have the same value. If we graph the equation, it should be an even, positive line. We know it passes through `(0, 0)`, and then we can make the slope `1`.

Our graph should look like this graph{y=x}
