Algebra.Com's Answer #55637 by checkley75(3666)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=4x-2 the easiest way to find two points is: \n" ); document.write( "you already have one point the y intercept point (0,-2). \n" ); document.write( "to find a second point set y=0 & solve for x thus: \n" ); document.write( "0=4x-2 \n" ); document.write( "4x=2 \n" ); document.write( "x=2/4 \n" ); document.write( "x=1/2 or (1/2,0) \n" ); document.write( "plot these two points and draw a line thus: \n" ); document.write( " |
