How would you find an equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (-4,-8)?
----------------------
When a line is horizontal, that means that every point on that line is going to have the same y-coordinate.
Since the y-coordinate is -8, then every single point will look like (x,-8)
So we plot the line y= -8
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y=-8%29+
And we see that (-4,-8) is on the line.
