Question

Deterimine if the following equaiton is a horizontal or vertical line: y = 3 @kymber

Answer 1

Could someone explain this to me?

Answer 2

Try making a table for this:

Answer 3

What will the y-value be?

Answer 4

I would, if I understood the chart. But I don't. :/

Answer 5

Plot three on the y-axis.. You don't need to make a chart! :p

Answer 6

Ah, okay. I just chose some random x-values. Every x-value will be paired with a y-value depending on what the equation is.

So, in this case, the y-value will always be 3 because your equation is y=3

Answer 7

So you will end up with the points (-1, 3), (0, 3), and (1, 3)

Answer 8

Try plotting those points and see what kind of line you get.

Answer 9

So it's horizontal?

Answer 10

Yes.

Answer 11

Yupp! if it's y = one number, then it's horizontal and if it's x = one number, then it's vertical.
