To visualize the relationship described by the equation Y = 2X, we can create a graph by plotting some points.
Let's choose a few values for X and calculate the corresponding values for Y using the equation Y = 2X.
When X = 0, Y = 2(0) = 0
When X = 1, Y = 2(1) = 2
When X = 2, Y = 2(2) = 4
When X = 3, Y = 2(3) = 6
Now let's plot these points on a graph.
(0,0)
(1,2)
(2,4)
(3,6)
By connecting these points, we can see that they lie on a straight line passing through the origin (0,0) with a slope of 2. This relationship illustrates a proportional (direct) relationship where Y is equal to twice the value of X.
