@dancingdiamond can you sketch y = -5 on a graph?

whpalmer4 · Answer

A horizontal line is made up of the set of all points with the same x value, or the set of all points with the same y value?

anonymous · Answer

how about this, what is the y value of (-5,1)?

anonymous · Answer

y is 1

anonymous · Answer

y = 1, do you see that in your answers?

anonymous · Answer

and as @whpalmer4 said, the graph y = 1, is a horizontal line because for any x, the output is 1. looks like this
