graphing linear equations

Question

i need help graphing this linear equation. i need step by step solution for this problem. how do i solve this equation??? -2x+y=-2 this is for my college algebra class.

Answer 1

-2x + y = -2

one way to graph the line is find the intercepts. Plot them and draw a straight line through them

solve for y gives the y intercept: y =2x -2. -2 or (0,-2) is the y intercept.

for for x gives the x intercept: x = y/2 + 1 1 or (1,0) is the x intercept. Plot those two points, draw a straight line connecting them. That's the graph of -2x + y = -2
