Given the table of values:

m s

0 4

2 3

-2 5

8 0

The values form the line with the equation:

2m + 4s = 16

Let's place the points on the graph, to form the line.

The values of the independent variable is always on the x-axis of the graph

The values of the dependent variable is always on the y-axis of the graph

From the table, mark the points on the graph:

(x, y) ==> (0, 4)

(x, y) ==> (2, 3)

(x, y) ==> (-2, 5)

(x, y) ==> (8, 0)

Connect the points with a straight line.

Thus, we have the graph below:

The graph above represents the line with the given equation: 2m + 4s = 16
