You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To graph any line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
you first plot a point at the y-intercept...
For y = 2x + 5, that would be at the point (0,5).
From that point you apply the slope...here that is 2 (which is 2%2F1), so you go up two points and go to the right one, thus plotting another point at (1,3)...then repeat and plot a point at (2,1)...then connect them into a line...
For y - 4x = -2, add 4x to both sides and get y = 4x - 2 and repeat what I showed you above...
