Simple curved plane?

I'm trying to figure out the best step-by-step to make a curved plane for a simple floor and background using a polygon plane as in the screenshot I've attached.

 

I used the bend deformer as one solution, but I don't that is useful for beginners.

 

This one is a plane and uses a polysplit1 and polysplit2 and I have no idea how it is done.  Can anyone give me quick step-by-step on curving a plane in this manner please?

in side view (right) make a curve, here i have 3 (the white ones are linear, and the green is cubic)

 

make it whatever slope you want, but will look like this:

select those three curves, in surface > edit curves > attach curves (option connect) to create desired backplane shape.

 

select surface > extrude (adjust length as needed)

 

select the newly made NURB surface

 

select modify > convert > NURB to polygon  (adjust U V settings as desire)

 

can tweak settings in channel editor:
