The equation is .

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

                        (Subtract 2x from each side)

                        (Commutative property: )

                                      (Simplify)                      

                          (Multiply each side by negative one)

                                         (Product of two same signs is positive)                          

Graph by Making a Table:

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

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

\ x \	\  y = 2x–10 \	\ y \	\ (x, y) \
\ – 4 \	\ 2(– 4)–10 \	\ – 18 \	\ (– 4,  – 18) \
\ – 2 \	\ 2(– 2)–10 \	\ – 14 \	\ (– 2, – 14) \
\ 0 \	\ 2(0)–10 \	\ –10 \	\ (0, –10) \
\ 2 \	\ 2( 2)–10 \	\ – 6 \	\ (2, – 6) \
\ 4 \	\ 2( 4)–10 \	\ – 2 \	\ (4, – 2) \
