Understanding Integer Solutions and Graphing

The video tutorial explains how to find integer solutions for the equation y = -3 and graph the resulting line. It demonstrates that y must always be -3, while x can be any integer. The tutorial provides three ordered pair solutions: (0, -3), (1, -3), and (2, -3), and shows how to plot these points on a coordinate plane. The video concludes by explaining that any equation in the form y = c results in a horizontal line on the graph.
