Chapter 9.5, Problem 7GP

To determine

To graph the equation using slope and y-intercept.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given equation is:

  $\text{y}=2\text{x}-4$

Graph:

The slope of the equation is $2$ and the y-intercept is $-4$ .

Graph the y-intercept at $\left(0,-4\right)$ .

Using the slope $2$ locate another point on the line.

Move $\text{y}$ up by $\text{2 units}$ and move $\text{x}$ right by $\text{1 unit}$ .

The other point is $\left(1,-2\right)$ .

Draw a line through the two points.

The graph is:
