Question 284083
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


That equation says to me that it is representing all of the ordered pairs where it doesn't matter what the *[tex \Large x]-coordinate is as long as the *[tex \Large y]-coordinate is -3.


So, pick a couple of values for *[tex \Large x].  If I pick *[tex \Large x\ =\ 1] then *[tex \Large y\ =\ -3].  If I pick *[tex \Large x\ =\ 2] then *[tex \Large y\ =\ -3].  If I pick *[tex \Large x\ =\ -475] then *[tex \Large y\ =\ -3].  If I pick *[tex \Large x\ =\ \frac{e^\pi}{\sqrt{17}] then *[tex \Large y\ =\ -3].


Is a pattern beginning to emerge?
