How to Graph the Equation y = 2x + 2 (Using a Table of Values)

In this video, we'll draw the graph for y = 2x + 2. You may also see this written as f(x) = 2x + 2.

First, we will use a table of values to plot points on the graph. Once we have two or three points, we can draw our line for the linear equation. You can choose any values of x for your table; however usually 0, 1, and -1 are best since they result in points that will fit on your graph paper.
Note that whatever value you put in for x will result in a value for y, that when graphed will give you a point that will be on the line for the equation y = 2x + 2.
