### How to Graph the Line y = -1

To graph the line \( y = -1 \), follow these steps:

1. Understand the equation \( y = -1 \). This equation indicates that for any value of \( x \), the value of \( y \) will always be -1.
2. Locate the point where \( y = -1 \) on the y-axis.

   Here is a description of the provided graph:
   - The graph represents a coordinate plane with both the x-axis and y-axis labeled.
   - The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical) both range from 0 to 8, and are marked with increments of 1.
   - There is no line drawn on the graph currently.

3. Draw a horizontal line across the entire graph that passes through \( y = -1 \). This horizontal line represents all the points where \( y \) remains constant at -1 regardless of \( x \).

4. Confirm that for every point on this line, the \( y \)-coordinate is -1, aligning with the equation \( y = -1 \).

After drawing, your graph should show a horizontal line intersecting the y-axis at -1 and extending infinitely in both directions along the x-axis.

**Visual Aid:**
The graph aids in visualizing the equation, demonstrating that the value of \( y \) is consistently -1 for any and all values of \( x \).

### Interactive Component:
After graphing the line \( y = -1 \), click "Continue" to proceed to the next exercise.

By following these steps, you will have accurately graphed the line represented by the equation \( y = -1 \).
