There are many points to choose from on the line y= -2.

anonymous · Answer

(-2,0)?

anonymous · Answer

really bad with graphs sorry..

anonymous · Answer

Not a problem at all! I am more than happy to help! 
The coordinate (-2,0) would not work since "-2" represents the x value and "0" represents the y value. So the point would be located here:
|dw:1372268016935:dw|

anonymous · Answer

so what point would work (-2,-1)

anonymous · Answer

So that point would still not work, however (-2,-2) would work. Since y= -2, all of your coordinates will have a y value that is equal to -2. The x value will vary, however the y value will stay the same.

anonymous · Answer

(-2,1)

anonymous · Answer

Remember that when you are writing the coordinates of a point, the x value is always the first number. (x, y). So if you flipped those coordinates around so that the x value was equal to 1 and the y value was equal to -2, then that point would be on the line "y= -2."
