The linear function is .

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

                     (Substitute 0 for x)

                           (Apply Zero propduct property: )

                             (Apply Additive identity property: )

The y-intercept is 2. The graph crosses the y - axis at (0, 2).

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

                        (Substitute 0 for y)

Apply addition property of equality: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.

            (Add 2 to each side)

                  (Apply Additive identity property: 2 + 0 = 2)

                              (Apply Additive inverse property: )

Apply division property of equality: if a = b, then.

                         (Divide each side by 4)

                              (Cancel common terms)

                              (Divide: )

The x - intercept is . The graph crosses the x - axis at .

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.      Draw a coordinate plane

2.      Plot the points

3.      Draw a line through these points.

The graph is.
