SOLUTION: My problem is y = -2x. Trying to find the point of each to graph besides the origin of(0,0).
y = 0
0 = -2x add 2 to each side gives y = 2
so my Y axis is (0,2)
x = 0

Question 657656: My problem is y = -2x. Trying to find the point of each to graph besides the origin of(0,0).
y = 0
0 = -2x add 2 to each side gives y = 2

y= -2(0)
y= 0
This is where I get confused....

If 
, then 
is true. But why would you add 2 to both sides?
You have just made a bigger mess, and adding 2 to each side does NOT give 
.
If you multiply both sides by 
, then you get
proving that the origin is, indeed, a point included in the solution set of the original equation.
Now, instead of letting 
take on values, vary the independent variable, 
.
Let 
then \ =\ -2)
, hence (1,-2)
Let 
then \ =\ 2)
, hence (-1,2)
and so on for as many different values of as tickles your fancy.
