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 using the Point-Plotting Method.
In your response, you must address the following:
- State what the equation tells you about the -coordinate for every single point on the line, regardless of the value of .
- Describe how to construct a table of values, explaining how the -values are filled in and how the -values are determined.
- List three specific ordered pairs generated using this method.
- Describe the physical appearance of the graphed line, including its vertical orientation and the exact coordinates of its -intercept.

A CNC machine programmer is setting up a vertical cut path defined by the equation on a metal sheet. To verify this path using the Point-Plotting Method, the programmer must construct a table of values where the -coordinate is held constant at -3 for every point (such as , , and ) because the equation states that is always -3 regardless of the value of .
