How can I list the coordinates of two points that fall on the graph of 2y +x=4?
Solve for x or y
---
x = 4 - 2y
Pick 2 values for y, and find x.
y = 0, x = 4 --> (4,0)
y = 4, x = -4 --> (-4,4)
y = 25, x = -46 --> (-46,25)
Any points.

You want 2 points which will be in the
form ( x,y )
The easiest way is to find {x,0) and (0,y)
First set +y+=+0+
+2y+%2B+x+=+4+
+2%2A0+%2B+x+=+4+
+x+=+4+
So, the 1st point is (4,0)
-----------
Then set +x+=+0+
+2y+%2B+0+=+4+
+2y+=+4+
+y+=+2+
So, the 2nd point is (0,2)
-----------
