See below:

Explanation:

Let's think about what the equation y=x means:

On a standard xy plane, if y is equal to x, then the coordinates would be the same.

Some of the points on the graph y=x will be (3,3), (5,5) and (7,7).

Since the coordinates are the same, the graph will just be a line with slope 1 extending out from the origin (0,0). Both x and y will be the same.

Hope this helps!
