Give the geometric representations of y = 3 as an equation
in two variables.
In two variables
y = 3
⇒ 0.x + 1.y = 3
It is a linear equation in two variables x and y. This is represented by a line. All the values of x are permissible because O.x is always 0. However, y must satisfy the relation y = 3. Hence, two solutions of the given equation are x = 0, y = 3 and x = 2, y = 3.
Thus the graph AB is a line parallel to the x-axis at a distance of 3 units above it.
