You can put this solution on YOUR website! For any linear equation in order to graph it, you need to have two ordered pairs in order to plot them and draw a line through them. That line represents the linear equation. In order to get two ordered pairs, you need to create two different values for x in order to solve for y. By the way, you need two points minimum because any two points determine a straight line. So for our first ordered pair, let's use x=0, then y=-2. If x=-2, then y=0. We have our two pairs, so plot them and draw a line and you get:
