6. What is the graph of the equation? 2x-y=2

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

why not graph it? so graph it and find out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats my problem, I dont understand HOW to graph it. Im not looking for an answer, Im looking for help for future reference

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, solve it for "y", what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, if you solve for "y" is just a flat 2?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

I wonder what happened to the "x"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah? and isnt X 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAit

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

4x? well, 2x + 2x = 4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im getting confused....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X is -2!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

x = -2? whatever happened to the "y"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IF i graph it wouldnt the coordinates be (-2,2)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, no this time if you solve it for "y", it'd be simpler to get a graph from it
