so im right?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
helpmeeplease, what are some points directly to the left or to the right of (-5,1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(-6,1) (-4,1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know how to answer that (-6,1)??
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it helps to actually plot a bunch of points that lie on a horizontal line that goes through (-5, 1)

x = -5 is wrong?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
x = -5 is the equation that plots a line where every point on that line has an x coordinate of -5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thts an x thingy i forget what its called but thts half of a plot
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its a straight up down line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = -5
x = 1
y = 1
x = -5 these are my answers

thts what it needs to look like
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im confused what do i need to do aftter tht
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thts all u need to do is make a straight line on the (-5,1) plot tht goes horizontal

am i right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = -5
x = 1
y = 1
x = -5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is what i have to work with
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so u have to make a vertical line?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i guess

ok tht makes a sense just add a y intercept to the problem x=-5
so u make y=mx+b right?
