Graphing a vertical line on graphing utility

Click For Summary
To graph a vertical line like X=2 on a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator, access the menu by pressing [2ND] followed by [PRGM]. Select the option for Vertical by pressing the [4] key. After that, input the value for X, in this case, pressing the [2] key will graph the line. It's important to specify the graphing utility being used, as different devices have varying methods for graphing. This process effectively allows users to graph vertical lines on the TI-84.

Is it possible to graph a vertical line such as X=2 on a graphing calculator?

How would one graph a vertical line on the graphing calculator?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
just found the answer.

[2ND] [PRGM]
[4]
X=[A]
 
Since you haven't said what "graphing utility" you are using or what those commands do, this makes no sense at all!

Sorry. I am using a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. To graph a vertical line:
Hit the [2ND] key followed by the [PRGM] key.

This brings you to the menu:
1: ClrDraw
2: Line(
3: Horizontal
4: Vertical
5: Tangent
6: Draw
7: Shade
8: DrawInv
9: Circle(
0: Text(
A: Pen

select Vertical by pushing the [4] key

This will take you to the main screen displaying Vertical

If I were trying to graph the equation X=2, I would now push the [2] key.

This process allows one to graph a vertical line on a TI 84 graphing calculator

* I apologize if my question/answer were not phrased clearly, or if this question has been answered before. Is "graphing utility" not the correct word to use? That is the term used in my textbooks.
 
"Graphing utility" is a generic term for a device that can display graphs. If you want advice on how to graph something on a specific device, you need to specify the device you're using, since different devices tend to do things in different ways.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
