Graph y=4x

Problem

y=4*x

Solution

1. Identify the type of equation. This is a linear equation in the form y=m*x+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

2. Determine the y-intercept. Since there is no constant term, b=0 meaning the line passes through the origin (0,0)

3. Determine the slope. The coefficient of x is 4 so the slope m=4 This means for every 1 unit the graph moves to the right, it moves up 4 units.

4. Calculate a second point to plot. If x=1 then y=4*(1)=4 This gives the point (1,4)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,0) and (1,4)

Final Answer

y=4*x
