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( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+4x+-2%29+\" (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 4x -2).
