Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : y-(2*x-4)=0 Step 1 :Equation of a Straight Line1.1 Solve y-2x+4 = 0 Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK). "y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.y tells us how far up the line goes x tells us how far along m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line y-2x+4 = 0 and calculate its properties Graph of a Straight Line :Calculate the Y-Intercept :Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is -4/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-4.00000 y-intercept = -4/1 = -4.00000Calculate the X-Intercept :When y = 0 the value of x is 2/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 2.00000 x-intercept = 4/2 = 2Calculate the Slope :Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -4.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -0.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -0.000 - (-4.000) = 4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN) Slope = 4.000/2.000 = 2.000Geometric figure: Straight Line
