graph{2x-4 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
Explanation:
Find the points on the line that intersect the x and y axes. Then combine those 2 points to get the line. (given any 2 points on the x-y plane, there is one and only one line passing through them)
Replace x with 0 to solve for y. This gives you the point on the y-axis.
So the first point is (0,4)
Replace y with 0 to solve for x. This gives you the point on the x-axis.
So the second point is (2,0)
Place the 2 points on your x-y plane and draw the line...
