Answer: Refer to below

Explanation:

Given equations

x = 1

y = -5

Determine the line of x = 1

The slope is undefined for any line that is x = a, where a is a constant. This is because the line is vertical, which means that rise/run = ∞ / 0

Thus, x = 1 should be drawn vertically across the point of (1, 0)

Determine the line of y = -5

The slope is 0 for any line that is y = a, where a is a constant. This is because the line is horizontal, which means that rise/run = 0 / ∞

Thus, y = -5 should be drawn horizontally across the point of (0, -5)

Answer: See attached.

Explanation:

When we have a simple x = a equation, the line will be vertical since all y values of that function/equation are equal to a. In this case, that is 1.

Similar thing for a y = b equation. The line will be horizontal since all x values of that function/equation are equal to b. In this case, that is -5.
