Q. Graph each Linear equation the table point-plotting method1.) y=2x
Identify Equation Type: Identify the type of the equation.The given equation y=2x is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, where the slope (m) is 2 and the y-intercept (b) is 0.
Create Table of Values: Create a table of values.Choose values for x and calculate the corresponding y values using the equation y=2x. Let's choose x values of −2, −1, 0, 1, and 2.
Calculate Y Values: Calculate the y values.For x=−2: y=2(−2)=−4For x=−1: y=2(−1)=−2For x=0: y=2(0)=0For x=1: y=2(1)=2For x=2: y=2(2)=4
Plot Points on Graph: Plot the points on a graph. Plot the points (−2,−4), (−1,−2), (0,0), (1,2), and (2,4) on the coordinate plane.
Draw Line: Draw the line.Connect the points with a straight line, which extends infinitely in both directions. This line represents all the solutions to the equation y=2x.
