Question

Complete the table and then graph the function.
y = –4

x y

Answer 1

The function given is \( y = -4 \). This means that for all values of \( x \), \( y \) will always be \(-4\).

To complete the table, we can fill in the \( y \) values for the provided \( x \) values:

| x | y |
|-----|-----|
| -10 | -4 |
| -9 | -4 |
| -7 | -4 |
| 5 | -4 |
| 7 | -4 |

Now, we can graph the function. Since \( y = -4 \) is a horizontal line, it will be a straight line across the graph where the \( y \)-coordinate is always \(-4\) regardless of the \( x \)-coordinate.

Here's a description of the graphing:

1. Draw the coordinate axes: the vertical axis (y-axis) and the horizontal axis (x-axis).
2. Label the y-axis with appropriate values, making sure to include \(-4\).
3. Draw a horizontal line through the point where \( y = -4 \) that spans across the entire graph.

This line represents the function \( y = -4 \).
