You are tasked to graphing the equation y - 2x + 8

Question

Our initial point (the y-intercept) is the point is (

To plot a 2nd point we would start at our initial point and go up 2 and right I and this is the point (

55

Answer 1

To plot the initial point, we plug in x = 0 into the equation:

y = -2(0) + 8
y = 8

So, the initial point is (0, 8).

To plot the second point, we use the slope-intercept form of the equation y = -2x + 8. The slope is -2, which means for every 1 unit we move to the right, we go 2 units down.

Starting from the initial point (0, 8), we move up 2 units and to the right 1 unit to get the second point:

(1, 6)

So, the two points we have plotted are (0, 8) and (1, 6).
