Sorry
how do i graph this
Y=-1
for every x value, f(x)= -1
The graph is a horizontal line going through y=-1
but then it cant be a linear function
To graph the equation y = -1, you will plot a straight line parallel to the x-axis along the y = -1 coordinate. Here are the steps to graph it:
1. Set up a coordinate system: Draw two perpendicular lines, one horizontal (x-axis) and one vertical (y-axis), intersecting at the origin (0,0).
2. Locate the y-intercept: Since the equation is y = -1, the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis. In this case, it is at the point (0, -1). Mark this point on the graph.
3. Draw the line: Since the equation is y = -1, it means that the line will have a constant y-value of -1, regardless of the x-coordinate. So, draw a straight line parallel to the x-axis, passing through the y-intercept point (0, -1). Note that this line will extend indefinitely in both directions.
That's it! You have graphed the equation y = -1. The line should be a horizontal line passing through all points where the y-coordinate is -1.
