Question 147741


In order to graph this equation, we only need two points to create a straight line





--------------------------------Let's find the first point--------------------------------


{{{y=4x}}} Start with the given equation





{{{y=4(0)}}} Plug in {{{x=0}}} (you can start with any number, but zero is the easiest number to work with since anything multiplied by zero is zero)





{{{y=0+0}}} Multiply {{{4}}} and {{{0}}} to get {{{0}}}





{{{y=0}}} Add 




So when {{{x=0}}}, we have the value {{{y=0}}}. This means we have the first point *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,0\right)]





--------------------------------Let's find the second point--------------------------------


{{{y=4x}}} Start with the given equation





{{{y=4(1)}}} Plug in {{{x=1}}} 





{{{y=4+0}}} Multiply {{{4}}} and {{{1}}} to get {{{4}}}





{{{y=4}}} Add 




So when {{{x=1}}}, we have the value {{{y=4}}}. This means we have the second point *[Tex \LARGE \left(1,4\right)]





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



So we have the two points: *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,0\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(1,4\right)]



Now plot these two points on a coordinate system


{{{drawing(500,500,-9.5,10.5,-9.5,10.5,
graph(500,500,-9.5,10.5,-9.5,10.5,0),
grid(1),
circle(0,0,0.1),
circle(0,0,0.12),
circle(0,0,0.15),
circle(1,4,0.1),
circle(1,4,0.12),
circle(1,4,0.15)
) }}}




Now draw a straight line through the two points. This line is the graph of {{{y=4x}}}


{{{drawing(500,500,-9.5,10.5,-9.5,10.5,
graph(500,500,-9.5,10.5,-9.5,10.5,4x),
grid(1),
circle(0,0,0.1),
circle(0,0,0.12),
circle(0,0,0.15),
circle(1,4,0.1),
circle(1,4,0.12),
circle(1,4,0.15)
) }}} Graph of {{{y=4x}}} through the two points *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,0\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(1,4\right)]
