To graph the equation $y = 2x$, here’s how to proceed:

Steps:

1. Identify the slope and y-intercept:

   • The equation is in slope-intercept form, $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
   • Here, the slope $m = 2$ and the y-intercept $b = 0$.

2. Plot the y-intercept:

   • Start at the origin (0, 0), since $b = 0$.

3. Use the slope:

   • The slope is 2, meaning that for every 1 unit you move to the right (along the x-axis), you move 2 units up (along the y-axis).
   • From the origin, move right 1 unit to (1, 2), then move right 1 unit again to (2, 4), and so on.

4. Draw the line:

   • Connect the points you plotted with a straight line, and extend it in both directions.
