Answer:

y = 2x - 4 is in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

using this knowledge, we can graph the line

our y-intercept as an ordered pair would be (0,-4), and our slope is 2, also known as 2/1

we start by graphing the point (0,-4) and graph the next point using the slope

the slope is rise/run, also known as y/x

we would go up 2 points from (0,-4) which would bring us to (0,-2), then we would move 1 point to the right, and we would be at (1,-2)

with the points (0,-4) and (1,-2) we can graph the line connecting those 2 points

i have attached an image of the graph with the points marked for a visual view
