Standard Operating Procedure for Plotting Vertical Boundaries

You are working as an assistant drafter at a facility design firm and have been asked to write a standard operating procedure (SOP) explaining how to plot layout lines on a coordinate grid. Explain, step-by-step, how to graph the boundary line defined by the equation x=3x = -3 using the Point-Plotting Method.

In your response, you must address the following:

  1. State what the equation x=3x = -3 tells you about the xx-coordinate for every single point on the line, regardless of the value of yy.
  2. Describe how to construct a table of values, explaining how the xx-values are filled in and how the yy-values are determined.
  3. List three specific ordered pairs generated using this method.
  4. Describe the physical appearance of the graphed line, including its vertical orientation and the exact coordinates of its xx-intercept.
