Graph 2x

Problem

y=2*x

Solution

1. Identify the type of equation. The expression y=2*x is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=m*x+b

2. Determine the slope and y-intercept. In this equation, the slope m is 2 and the y-intercept b is 0

3. Plot the y-intercept. Since b=0 the line passes through the origin at the point (0,0)

4. Use the slope to find a second point. The slope m=2 means "rise over run" is 2/1 Starting from (0,0) move up 2 units and right 1 unit to reach the point (1,2)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,0) and (1,2) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=2*x
