How do you graph y=2x+1y=2x+1 using a table?

See the explanation.

Explanation:

y=2x+1y=2x+1

Since this is the slope-intercept equation for a straight line, the table only needs two points. However, I'm going to determine 44 points (ordered pairs). Determine values of xx, then calculate yy.

Ordered Pairs
xxcolor(white)(.......)y
0color(white)(.......)1
1color(white)(.......)3
2color(white)(.......)5
3color(white)(.......)7

Plot the points on a graph and draw a straight line through them.
