Question

Tell whether the graph of the equation is a horizontal or a vertical line. Explain your choice.

y=-1​

Answer 1

horizontal line

Explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis is

y = c

where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

The equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis is

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

Hence

y = - 1 is a horizontal line passing through all points with a y- coordinate - 1
