How do you graph # y= -4# by plotting points?

Answer 1

#"see explanation"#

#y=-4" is a special equation of a line"#

#"in that it is horizontal , parallel to the x-axis and passing"# #"through all points in the plane with a y-coordinate of - 4"#

#"choosing any coordinate points with a y-coordinate of - 4"# #"and drawing a straight line through them gives graph"# graph{y-0.001x+4=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

To graph ( y = -4 ) by plotting points, you would plot points where the y-coordinate is always -4. This means that no matter what the x-coordinate is, the corresponding y-coordinate will always be -4. So, you would plot points like (0, -4), (1, -4), (2, -4), (-1, -4), etc. Then, you would connect these points with a straight line to represent the graph of the equation.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
