Work Step by Step

In the given equation, there is no term containing y. This equation is not an equation representing y as a function of x. It can not be written in the form $y=mx+b$, its slope is undefined The equation is linear so it does represent a line. Dividing the equation by 3 we obtain $x=-\displaystyle \frac{7}{2}$ meaning that any point that has x-coordinate $-\displaystyle \frac{7}{2}$ lies on this line. This line is vertical (parallel to the y-axis), and passes through $(-\displaystyle \frac{7}{2},0)$
