How do you graph #y=2x-4#?

Answer 1

Kennedy Adams

Refer explanation section

Given -

#y=2x-4#

Find the Y intercept -
At #x=0#

#y=2(0)-4=-4#
#(0, -4)#

Find X intercept -
At #y=0#

#2x-4=0#
#x=4/2=2#
#(2, 0)#

Plot these two intercept points on a graph sheet.
Join them with the help of a straight line.

To graph the equation (y = 2x - 4), you can start by plotting the y-intercept, which is at point (0, -4). Then, you can use the slope, which is 2, to find another point on the line. Since the slope is the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change, you can go up 2 units and to the right 1 unit from the y-intercept to find another point. After plotting these two points, you can draw a straight line through them to represent the graph of the equation.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
