In A1:A10 enter some x-values (say 1,2,.....)
In B1 enter =2*A1+4
Copy this down to B10
Select A1:B10; click the chart wizard, and select an XY (NOT a Line) chart

best wishes

I want to graph the linear equation y = 2x + 4 in microsoft excel. How do I
do this? On my TI-83 Plus I could easily do this. I also know I could
create
a data table and use the table of values to chart the line in excel. But I
want just enter the equation in excel and have excel graph it. Thanks.
