You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The xy-plane (usually named Cartesian plane, after mathematician Rene Descartes) is just like a number line, except in two dimensions. The function $\"f%28x%29+=+-5\"$ is similar to saying $\"y+=+-5\"$ since y is a function in terms of x. However this is not always the case!\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph $\"y+=+-5\"$ is a horizontal line in which the y-coordinate is -5, regardless of x:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28200%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C10%2C+-5%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph lies in the third and fourth quadrants (look in your textbook or online which quadrant is which). \n" ); document.write( "
