The line equation is .

First find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.

                             (Substitute 0 for y)

                (Add 2 to each side)

                                    (Simplify)

          (Multiply each side by negative )

                                         (Cancel common terms)

The x-intercept is .So plot the point x-axis at (, 0)

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y.

                          (Substitute 0 for x)

                                         (Simplify)

The y-intercept is .So plot the point y-axis at (0, )

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

\
• Draw a coordinate plane.
\
• Plot the points (, 0) and (0, )
\
• Draw a line through these points.
