Solve for y.
8x−4y=16
-4y = -8x + 16
y = (-8x + 16)/-4
y = (-8x)/-4 + (16/-4)
y = 2x - 4
We only need two points to graph linear equations.
Now let x be 0 and solve for y.
y = 2(0) - 4
y = -4
This leads to the point (0, -4).
We need another point.
Let y = 0 and solve for x.
0 = 2x - 4
4 = 2x
4/2 = x
2 = x
This leads to the point (2,0).
Plot these two points on the xy-plane and connect the points with a straight line.
I'll let you do that.
Understand?
