Using the slope and the y-intercept, graph the line represented by the following equation. Then select the correct graph. 2x - y + 4 = 0

Verified Answer :

Go up to 4 on the y axis, and then go up 2 and over 1, then graph.

Answer:

slope =2  and y intercept =4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope and the y-intercept, graph the line represented by the following equation.

2x - y + 4 = 0

To get slope and y intercept we write the equation in the form of

\(y=mx+b\) where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

\(2x - y + 4 = 0\), solve for y

Subtract 2x on both sides

\(- y + 4 = -2x\)

Subtract 4 on both sides

\(- y = -2x-4\)

Divide both sides by -1

\(y =2x+4\)

Slope =2  and y intercept = 4

now start graphing at y intercept (0,4)

for slope we move up by 2 units and right by 1 units
