As a warehouse manager, you use a business inventory software that charges a flat monthly fee of 500 dollars, regardless of how many inventory items you log. This pricing model is an example of a constant function, mathematically defined by the equation $f(x) = 500$. Based on the definition of a constant function, what does its graph exclusively look like on a rectangular coordinate plane?

Suppose a professional consulting firm charges a flat monthly retainer fee of $b$ dollars, regardless of how many hours ($x$) are worked. This pricing model is represented by the constant function $f(x) = b$. Match each mathematical property of this constant function with its correct description.

A corporate facility manager pays a flat monthly fee of 800 dollars for security services, regardless of how many times the alarm is triggered. This is modeled by the constant function $f(x) = 800$. Because the function always returns the same output value for any input, its ____ consists strictly of the single value 800.

A corporate security firm charges a flat monthly service fee of 150 dollars, which is represented by the constant function $f(x) = 150$. True or False: On a rectangular coordinate plane, the graph of this function will intersect the vertical axis at the point (150, 0).
