Recalling Graphing Strategies for Architectural Layouts

An assistant designer at an architectural layout firm is drafting a site plan on a digital grid and needs to plot four boundary lines. The equations of these lines are:

  • Boundary A: 3x+2y=12{}3x + 2y = 12
  • Boundary B: y=4y = 4
  • Boundary C: y=15x4y = \frac{1}{5}x - 4
  • Boundary D: x=7x = -7

To save time during the layout process, the designer must quickly recall the most convenient and efficient method or orientation to graph each line. Describe the most convenient graphing method or geometric orientation for each of these four equations based directly on their algebraic structures.
