Given equation is y=4.
Question says to graph the given equation y=4 then use the graph to find the missing x- or y-coordinates for the function to the nearest hundredth.
Equation y=4 has no "x" so that means line y=4 will be a horizontal line which passes through 4 on y-axis.
Since it is parallel to x-axis so that means there is no x-intercept.
y-intercept is (0,4) as the line crosses at 4 on y-axis.

Answer:
y = -x +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the given equation for y, we have ...
y = x +4
The slope of this line is the coefficient of x: 1. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/1 = -1. The y-intercept of the perpendicular line can be found from ...
b = y -mx = 8 -(-1)(-3) = 5
The perpendicular line has equation ...
y = -x +5
