Graph the eqution by plotting points
y = -1.
please help!!
Think about what this line will look like. y=-1 for every x, right? So play with the x's. Plot (0, -1), (5, -1), (-1, -1). Seeing a pattern?
No,Not really I am still a tad bit confused....
To graph the equation y = -1, we need to plot points on a coordinate plane.
Since the equation is a straight horizontal line that always has a y-coordinate of -1, it means that no matter what x-coordinate you choose, the y-coordinate will always be -1.
To start, choose a set of x-values, such as -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2. For each of these x-values, the corresponding y-value will be -1.
So, the points we need to plot on the graph are:
(-2, -1), (-1, -1), (0, -1), (1, -1), (2, -1)
Once you have these points, plot them on a coordinate plane. Each point represents the x and y values obtained from substituting different x-values into the equation.
Remember that the equation y = -1 represents a horizontal line that crosses the y-axis at -1.
Connect the plotted points with a straight line, and that will be the graph of the equation y = -1.
