Question

consider the following linear equation.
\\y = -9\\
step 2 of 2: graph the line by plotting two points.

Explanation:

Identify the equation type

Using the Horizontal Lines knowledge point

$$ y = -9 $$

Determine coordinates of two points

Using the Plotting Points knowledge point

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Graph the horizontal line

Using the Horizontal Lines and Plotting Points knowledge points

$$ \text{Plot } (0, -9) \text{ and } (5, -9) \text{ and draw a horizontal line through them.} $$

Answer:

To graph the linear equation \(y = -9\), plot any two points where the \(y\)-coordinate is \(-9\).

Two such points are:

• \((0, -9)\)
• \((5, -9)\)

Plot these two points on the coordinate plane and draw the horizontal line passing through them.
