Y=mX+b
This is the line equation where m=slope & b=the Y intercept.
2x+y=2
y=-2x+2 here you have a slope=2 & a Y intercept=+2.

Graph 2x + y=2
It's a straight line, so 2 points are needed.
Pick values of x and find y, or vice versa.
Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them.
---------------
x....y
0....2 --> (0,2)
5....-8 --> (5,-8)
There are 2 points. Any 2 will do
