SOLUTION: The problem: write in slop-intercept form and sketch the line. 4x-y-2=0 I know that I solve like this: 4x-2=y or y=4x-2 Therefore, m=4 and y=-2 but then how do I plot it on t

Question 77575: The problem: write in slop-intercept form and sketch the line. 4x-y-2=0
I know that I solve like this:
4x-2=y or y=4x-2
Therefore, m=4 and y=-2
but then how do I plot it on the graph?

y=4x-2 the easiest way to find two points is:
you already have one point the y intercept point (0,-2).
to find a second point set y=0 & solve for x thus:
0=4x-2
4x=2
x=2/4
x=1/2 or (1/2,0)
plot these two points and draw a line thus:
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 4x -2).
