Answer 2

This is a the equation for a straight line. I'd think you would have to have a range of x values. If not then it will go on forever. Basically, if you have a range of values, lets say 0 to 5, then you would plug in all the x values into the equation to find y for each one. After that, just make a table of x values and their corresponding results.

e.g.

x |  0  1  2  3  4  5

-----------------------------

y | -2  0  2  4  6  8

Answer 3

Pick values of x -- maybe the value of x changing by 1, for example, from point to point --and find y for each value of x.

Include the x- and y-intercepts as points, so that the graph shows the line crossing the x- and y-axes, and choose other values of x.

The y-intercept is (0, -2), from y=mx+b. For the x-intercept, make y=0, so 2x-2=0, and find x.
