You have two choices (whether using a calculator or not)
If you have a TI calculator, you can just press the y= , plug in the equation, 2nd, graph, and graph the points list.
Without the calculator, you need to know the slope and y-intercept.
You have y=4x-2
Think back to the slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b (please please, memorize this formula!) You know that m stands for the slope and if m=4, then 4 is your slope.
The y-intercept is usually the b the the slope-intercept form and if b=-2, your y-intercept is -2. I recommend you graph (0,-2)
You know your slope is rise over run so to move towards the positive x-values, move up 4 and right 1.
You would move down 4 and to the left 1 in order to move towards the negative y-values.
