Graph each equation by making a table. Y = 4
To graph the equation y = 4, we can create a table of x and y values and then plot the corresponding points on the graph.
1. Choose a few values for x. For simplicity, let's choose -2, 0, and 2.
2. Substitute each value of x into the equation y = 4 to find the corresponding y values.
For x = -2: y = 4
For x = 0: y = 4
For x = 2: y = 4
So, the corresponding y values for this equation are all 4.
3. Create a table with the x and y values:
| x | y |
|---|---|
| -2| 4 |
| 0 | 4 |
| 2 | 4 |
4. Plot the points on a graph. The x-values go on the x-axis, and the y-values go on the y-axis.
Place a point at (-2, 4), (0, 4), and (2, 4).
5. Connect the points with a straight line.
Since all the y-values are the same (4), the line will be horizontal and parallel to the x-axis.
The graph of the equation y = 4 will be a horizontal line passing through the y-axis at the value 4.
