Answer 1

plot the point (-1,-8)

Answer 2

then draw a horizontal line through it

Answer 3

what are some other points on this line?

Answer 4

Answer 5

(-2,-8) (-3,-8) (-4, -8)

Answer 6

what do all of those points have in common?

Answer 7

The y is always -8

Answer 8

so no matter which point you're dealing with, the y coordinate is always -8

Answer 9

this means that y = -8 is the equation that forms the horizontal line

Answer 10

equation of horizontal line passing through (-1,-8) is
y=-8
or y+8=0

Answer 11

ok thank you both

Answer 12

yw

Answer 13

so the verticle would be -1 right

Answer 14

vertical line through (-1,-8) would be x = -1

Answer 15

ok thank you for the help really appreciate it

Answer 16

sure thing
