Chapter 4, Problem 14SGR

To determine

To plot:The graph of the equation.

Answer to Problem 14SGR

The graph of the equation is given below.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The equation of the line is $y=4x-2$

Calculation:

The equation of the line $y=4x-2$ can be written as

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{4}{2}x-\frac{y}{2}=\frac{2}{2}\\ \frac{x}{\left(1/2\right)}-\frac{1}{2}y=1\end{array}$

This form of the equation shows the x- and and y - intercepts of the line. The line meets the x- axis at point $\left(0.5,0\right)$ and the y- axis at point $\left(0,-2\right)$ .

Join these two points and get the plot of the equation of line.

Plot this equation on the Cartesian plane.
