The equation is .

The equation is in slope intercept form.

To graph the equation, first graph the

According to multiplication property of equality: If a = b then ac = bc.

                  (Multiply each side by 2)

           (Distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + bc)       

                      (Cancel common terms)

                                (Multiply: )

According to subtraction property of equality: If a = b then .

                   (Subtract x from each side)

                   (Commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a)

                                (Additive inverse property: a + (-a) = -a + a = 0)

According to division property of equality: If a = b then .

                       (Divide each side by 2)

                            (Cancel common terms)

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

                                  (zero product property: a(0) = 0)

                                        (Additive identity property: a + 0 = a)

The co-ordinate point is (0, 4)

Next find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0. \ \

     (Addto each side)

                           (Additive inverse property:)

                                  (Additive identityproperty: a + 0 = a) \ \

According to multiplication property of equality: If a = b then ac = bc. \ \

                     (Multiply each side by2)

                               (Cancel common terms)

                                      (Multiply:)

The co-ordinate point is (8, 0) \ \ Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.
