Question

Please help I'm really bad at math

for each equation tell weather its graph is a horizontal or a vertical line

y=-4

Answer 1

whether

Answer 2

did you try plotting it?

the points on this line will need to satisfy y=-4
hence all the points will be (x,-4)

and points like (0,-4) (1,-4),(2,-4) will be on this line

if you only take a look at this three points, does the line look vertical or horizontal?

Answer 3

Please, do yourself a big favor, and stop advertising, "I'm really bad at math." I'm sure you can learn what you have to, through study and practice. OK?

Draw a set of coordinate axes and then plot several points; use the ones soobored has suggested. Draw a line thru those points. Is the resulting line vertical, slant or horiz.?

Now try plotting the points (1, 5), (1, 7), (1, -2).

Draw a line thru these points. Is the resulting line horiz. or vert.?

Conclusion: If you have a bunch of points and all of them have the same y-coordinate (for example, y=k), then the line thru these points is horiz. and the equation of the line is y=k.

Answer 4

\(\bf \begin{array}{rllll}
x&y
\\\hline\\
\pm 1&-4\\
\pm 5&-4\\
\pm 1000&-4\\
\pm 1,000,000&-4\\
\pm 1,000,000,000&-4\\
\pm \infty & -4
\end{array}\impliedby \textit{what does that give you}\)

Answer 5

Complete this sentence: "No matter what value x may have, y always has the value .... ? "

Answer 6

The resulting graph is a horizontal vertical line. (Circle the correct answer.)
