a linear equation in slope-intercept+form+is+%7B%7B%7By=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is y-intercept

you have 2x=y+ or y=2x
if you compare it to y=mx%2Bb, you see that m=2 and b=0 which means you have a line that crosses {y-axis}}} at 0 and has positive slope, so its graph goes through I and III quadrant and line is raising
since you already have one point to plot on a coordinate system, and it is (0,0), we need one more point to graph the line
let x=1...=>...y=2%2A1=2; so, second point will be (1,2)
now we can graph it
