Question

How do you graph y+2=-2(x – 4) ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Start out by using the Distributive Property to convert from Point-Slope Form to Slope-Intercept Form:

y + 2 = −2x + 8

- 2 - 2

______________

$\displaystyle y = -2x + 6$

Now, starting from the y-intercept of [0, 6], you do $\displaystyle \frac{rise}{run}$by either moving two blocks north over one block west or two blocks south over one block east [west and south are negatives].
