Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answer 1

0-2 .1 +6

Explanation:

4

x

+

y

=

−

2

Subtract

4

x

from both sides of the equation.

y

=

−

2

−

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two

x

values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding

y

values.
