Explanation:

9.

x = 3

yes, that's really it.

it just means that any value is valid for y.

this line is not a function, because the one valid value for x (3) has infinitely many assigned y values.

10.

the usual equation for a line is

y = ax + b

with "a" being the slope, "b" being the y-intercept (the y-value when x = 0).

we see that b = 0, as the line goes through the origin (0, 0).

the slope is the ratio

y coordinate difference / x coordinate difference

when going from one point on the line to another.

we see e.g. the points (0, 0) and (1, -3). I always recommend to look for points with integer coordinates.

when going from one to the other,

x changes by +1 (from 0 to 1).

y changes by -3 (from 0 to -3).

the slope "a" = -3/1 = -3.

the line equation is

y = -3x
