The correct answer is A. Begin at the point (0, 4), then go up 1 unit and right 2 units to plot the next point.

To graph this equation:

Start at the y-intercept, which is the point (0, 4). This is the first point on the graph.
To plot the next point, we need to consider the slope of the line, which is . The slope represents the rise over the run, meaning that for every 1 unit increase in x, the y-value increases by unit.
To maintain this slope of , we need to go up 1 unit on the y-axis and right 2 units on the x-axis. This preserves the ratio between the rise and the run.
Continuing this pattern of going up 1 unit and right 2 units allows us to accurately plot the points and graph the line represented by the equation
