Graph 2x-y=4

Problem

2*x−y=4

Solution

1. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form y=m*x+b by isolating y

2*x−y=4

−y=−2*x+4

y=2*x−4

2. Identify the y-intercept b and the slope m from the equation.

b=−4

m=2

3. Plot the y-intercept on the coordinate plane at the point (0,−4)

4. Determine a second point using the slope m=rise/run=2/1 From (0,−4) move up 2 units and right 1 unit to reach (1,−2)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,−4) and (1,−2) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=2*x−4
