Chapter 3 - Graphing Linear Functions - 3.5 - Graphing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form - Exercises - Page 142: 27

Answer

The $x-$ intercept is $0$. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow y=2x$ $\Rightarrow y=2x+0$ The slope-intercept form is $\Rightarrow y=mx+b$ $y-$intercept is $b=0$. Plot the $y-$ intercept $A=(0,0)$. The slope is $m=2$ and Slope $m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{2}{1}$ The next point is $1$ unit right and $2$ unit up from the point $(0,0)$. Plot the point $B=(1,2)$. Draw a line through the two points. From the graph the line crosses the $x-$ axis at $A=(0,0)$. Hence, the $x-$ intercept is $0$.
