Start with the y intercept, then use the definition of slope to determine anoth er point on the line. Plot those two points and connect them with a line.
(0,4)
Slope is change in y over change in x.
(0+1,4+2)
(1,6) is another point on the line.

Find the x and y intercepts of the line.
Plot them and connect them with a line.

I prefer the second, it's quicker.
X-intercept:

(-2,0)
