Answer: Check out the graph below

The graph is a straight line through the points (0,6) and (1,8)

====================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in x = 0 to find that...

y = 2x+6

y = 2(0)+6

y = 0 + 6

y = 6

The point (0,6) is on the line

---------

Repeat for x = 1

y = 2x+6

y = 2(1)+6

y = 2 + 6

y = 8

The point (1,8) is also on the line

---------

Now plot the two points together on the same xy grid.

Draw a straight line through the two points. Stretch the line as far as you can in either direction. See below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. It's a free graphing app.

Desmos is another useful free graphing tool. There are many options if you don't have a graphing calculator.
