Find the graph of the equation by plotting points.
yequalsnegative 2x
To plot the graph of the equation y = -2x, we need to choose values for x and then calculate the corresponding values for y.
Let's choose some values for x:
x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
Now let's calculate the corresponding values for y using the equation y = -2x:
When x = -2, y = -2(-2) = 4
When x = -1, y = -2(-1) = 2
When x = 0, y = -2(0) = 0
When x = 1, y = -2(1) = -2
When x = 2, y = -2(2) = -4
So, the points on the graph would be (-2, 4), (-1, 2), (0, 0), (1, -2), and (2, -4).
Plotting these points on a graph will give you a straight line passing through these points. The graph is a downward sloping line with a slope of -2.
