y = 2x - 1
The graph of a linear function is a straight line.
Since the y- intercept is -1, we have the point (0. -1)where the line passes through.
We need to more points in order to be able to graph the function.
Let x = 1/2, then y = 0, the second point is (1/2, 0).
Let x = 1, then y = 1, the third point is (1, 1).
Connect these three points with a straight line, which is the graph of the function
y = 2x - 1.
