How do i graph y=5x-2 and y=x+4?
-----------------
Same as any graph, find points and draw a line thru them.
Those are both linear, so they're straight lines. 2 points is sufficient for straight lines.
------------
For y = 5x-2
Pick values for x and find y
x....y
0....-2 --> (0,2)
2....8 --> (2,8)
Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them.
-----------
Do the same for the other equation.
