See a solution process below:

The equation $y = 2$ $y = 2$ says for any value of $x$ $x$ the $y$ $y$ value is $2$ $2$ .

Therefore, two points on this line are:

$(- 2, 2)$ $(-2, 2)$ and $(2, 2)$ $(2,2 )$

We can first plot these points:

graph{((x+2)^2+(y-2)^2-0.04)((x-2)^2+(y-2)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Now, we can draw a straight line through the two points to graph the line:

graph{(y-2+0.000001x)((x+2)^2+(y-2)^2-0.04)((x-2)^2+(y-2)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

See below:

When we have an equation of the form

$y = c$ $y=c$ , we know we are dealing with a horizontal line. No matter what $x$ $x$ is, $y$ $y$ will always be $2$ $2$ .

Our graph, on the $y$ $y$ -axis, will always be equal to $2$ $2$ .

graph{y=0x+2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Hope this helps!
