Question 1
The straight‐line graph defined by the equation
𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 4
will cut the y‐axis at the point
[1] (0; 4)
[2] (−4; 2)
[3] (2; −4)
[4] 0; −4)
Answer:
𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 4
, Find the 𝑦 −intercept:
At 𝑥 = 0
𝑦 = 2(0) − 4 = −4
(0, −4)
Find the 𝑥 −intercept:
At 𝑦 = 0
2𝑥 − 4 = 0
4
𝑥= =2
2
(2,0)
Plot these two intercept points on a graph sheet and join them with the help of a straight
line:
The straight-line graph will cut the 𝑦 −axis at the point (0; −4).
