What quadrants do the line y = 2x - 4 go through?  Choose the correct answer
A) 1 and 2  B) 1 and 3  C) 1 and 4  D) 1,2 and 3  E) 1,3 and 4
Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the line.   To find the x intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.   0 = 2x - 4   x = 2   To find the y intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.   y = 0 - 4   y = -4   Draw the line using the two intercepts.   Thus, the line goes through the 1st, 3rd and 4th quadrants.   Answer is 1,3 and 4
