A line is drawn through the origin (0, 0) with a gradient of 2. Can you list 3 points that this line goes through?

explain with a diagram pls

Sure! Here is a diagram that shows a line with a gradient of 2 passing through the origin (0, 0). The line can be defined as y = 2x, where y is the vertical coordinate and x is the horizontal coordinate.

Here are three points that this line goes through:

(0, 0): This is the origin, where the line intersects both the x-axis and the y-axis.
(1, 2): This point is found by plugging in x = 1 into the equation of the line, which gives us y = 2 * 1 = 2.
(-1, -2): This point is found by plugging in x = -1 into the equation of the line, which gives us y = 2 * -1 = -2.
makefile
Copy code
y = 2x
