How do I graph the linear equation 3y= -9?
-----------------------------
3y= -9
y = -3
--------------
No matter what x is, y is -3
You can assign x to be any 2 values, eg, 0 and 5, which gives 2 points ((0,-3) and (5,-3). Then draw a straight line thru them for the graph.
You'll see it's a line parallel to the x-axis, 3 units below it.
