Graphing a vertical line on graphing utility

AI Thread 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.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
