$(i)$ $y =3[$ An equation in one variable $]$

$\because  $ $ y =3$ is an equation in one variable, i.e. $y$ only.

$\therefore $ It has a unique solution $y =3$ as shown on the number line shown here.

The unique solution is a point.

$(ii)$ $y =3[$ An equation in two variables]

We can write $y =3$ as

$0x+y=3 $

Now, when $x=1$,  $y=3$

         when $x=2$,  $y=3$

        when $x=3$,  $y=3$

We get the following table :

$X$ $1$ $2$ $3$
$Y$ $3$ $3$ $3$

Plotting the ordered pairs $(1,\,3)$, $(2,\,3)$ and $(3,\,3)$ on a graph paper, we get a line $AB$ as solution of $0  x + y =3,$ i.e. $y =3$.
