See a solution process below:

This equation states for each and every value of $y$ $y$ , $x$ $x$ will equal $- 5$ $-5$ .

We can select two points to plot:

Point 1: For $y = - 2$ $y = -2$ , $x = - 5$ $x = -5$ or $(- 5, - 2)$ $(-5, -2)$

Point 1: For $y = 2$ $y = 2$ , $x = - 5$ $x = -5$ or $(- 5, 2)$ $(-5, 2)$

We can plot these points as:

#graph{((x+5)^2 + (y+2)^2 - 0.025)((x+5)^2 + (y-2)^2 - 0.025) = 0}

We can now draw a line through the two points to graph the equation:

#graph{(y+ 1000x+5000)((x+5)^2 + (y+2)^2 - 0.025)((x+5)^2 + (y-2)^2 - 0.025) = 0}
