You need two points to define a line (no more and no less), so pick a value for x, put it into the equation, determine the value for y that corresponds, and then plot the point with the x-coordinate of the value you picked and the y-coordinate for the value that resulted from your choice. Then do it again for a different value of x. Once you have plotted two points, draw a line through them and you are done.

Since you can choose any value you like for x, pick something that will make the arithmetic simple. 0 is always a good choice.

cartoon%28y=red%28x%29%2B2%2Cy=red%280%29%2B2%29
y=2

So our first point is (0,2), because we chose 0 for x, and that resulted in 2 for y.

Let's try x = 1
cartoon%28y=red%28x%29%2B2%2Cy=red%281%29%2B2%29
y=3

So the second point is (1,3), because we chose 1 for x, and that resulted in 3 for y.

Plot the points:



Then draw the line:



Follow this same procedure for the other equation.

Using the intercept method, when x = 0 and when y = 0
For
y = x + 2
When x = 0
y = 0 + 2
y = 2
Point (0,2)
When y = 0
0 = x + 2
x = - 2
Point (-2,0)

y = -2x + 2
When x = 0
y = -2 (0) + 2
y = 2
Point (0,2)
When y = 0
0 = -2x + 2
2x = 2
x = 1
Pont (1,0)
Plot these points and draw your graph
