We are given the following equation of a line:


y=3x+2

To graph a line we need two points on the line. We have that the following points are on the line:


\begin{gathered} (x,y)=(-2,-4) \\ (x,y)=(0,2) \end{gathered}

Now, we plot both points in the coordinate system, like this:

Now, we join both points using a line. The third point will be on the line too:

Thus we get the equation of the line. We can notice that we can pick any two points and we would get the same line.
