Do you want to solve for y?

2x%2By%2B8=0 Start with the given equation.


2x%2By=-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


y=-8-2x Subtract 2x from both sides.


y=-2x-8 Rearrange the terms.

2x+y+8=0
subtract 8 from both sides
2x+y+8-8=-8
2x+y=-8
--------------
calculate some ordered pairs
2(2)+y=-8
4+y=-8
y=-4
(2,-4)
--------------
2(4)+y=-8
8+y=-8
y=0
(4,0)
