How do you graph the linear equation y equals -4?

Answer 1

When we read this question, we see an urgent red flag.

First the answer, then we'll explain the red flag.

Answer:

Draw 'x' and 'y' axes, with some numbers on them and all of that.

Find any two points where [ y = -4 ]. Mark each point with a little dot.

Lay your ruler down between the two dots and draw a line.

The line is part of the graph of the linear equation [ y = -4 ].

If the line isn't horizontal, there's been a mistake somewhere.

(It's not the whole graph, because the whole line never ends ... it just goes

out to infinity in both directions, left and right. But wherever it goes, you can

guarantee one thing: For every single point on the whole infinite line, no matter

what 'x' may be, 'y' is always -4 .)

The reason for the alarm that sounded in our office when we read this question is:

If you posted the question here on WA just to tweak us and see whether we

know what we're doing, than that's OK. But if you posted this question because

you have to do it for class or for homework, then you don't need the answer ...

you need some help in the subject. Ask your teacher for some time when you

can get together and go over some stuff, so you understand it better. Please.
