The equation is .

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + c.

                        (Add y to each side)

                                         (Simplify)

                                         (Rewrite the equation in terms of y)

Graph by Making a Table:

Make a table; choose some values for x and find the corresponding values for y.

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

\ x \	\ y = x \	\ y \	\ (x, y) \
\ – 4 \	\ – 4 \	\ – 4 \	\ (– 4, – 4) \
\ – 2 \	\ – 2 \	\ – 2 \	\ (– 2, – 2) \
\ 0 \	\ 0 \	\ 0 \	\ (0, 0) \
\ 2 \	\ 2 \	\ 2 \	\ (2, 2) \
\ 4 \	\ 4 \	\ 4 \	\ (4, 4) \

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.
