Question

How do you graph `y = -2x + 4` by plotting points?

Answer 1

choose x-values to find the y-values to get coordinates to graph
graph

Explanation:

to graph `y = -2x + 4` you need to choose x-values to input to the equation to find y which gives you coordinates to graph

it doesn't matter what x-values you choose but most people would pick values like 0, 1, -1 just because its easier and simpler

let `x = 0 -> y = -2(0) + 4 -> y = 4`
`(0,4)`

let `x = 1 -> y = -2(1) + 4 -> y = 2`
`(1, 2)`

let `x = 2 -> y = -2(2) + 4 -> y = 0`
`(2, 0)`

so choose x-values to find the y-values to get coordinates to graph
graph{y = -2x + 4 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
