To graph the equation $y = 2$, let's break it down:

• The equation $y = 2$ is a horizontal line because for every value of $x$, $y$ remains constant at 2.
• To plot this on a graph, you can choose any values for $x$ (like $x = -2, 0, 2,$ etc.), and $y$ will always be 2.

Steps to graph:

1. Choose points for $x$ (e.g., $x = -2, 0, 2$).
2. For each $x$-value, plot the corresponding point where $y = 2$.
3. Draw a straight horizontal line passing through all these points.

This line will intersect the y-axis at $y = 2$ and will be parallel to the x-axis.

Would you like a visual representation or any further clarifications?

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

1. What would the graph look like for $y = -3$?
2. How does the graph of $x = 3$ differ from $y = 2$?
3. Can you find the slope of a horizontal line like $y = 2$?
4. What happens to the graph if the equation changes to $y = x + 2$?
5. What is the general equation form for horizontal lines?

Tip: A horizontal line's slope is always zero because the $y$-value doesn't change!
