(N/A) Given equation: $x - y = 2$
This can be rewritten as: $y = x - 2$
To draw the graph,we find at least three solutions for the equation:
If $x = 0$,then $y = 0 - 2 = -2$
If $x = 1$,then $y = 1 - 2 = -1$
If $x = 2$,then $y = 2 - 2 = 0$
We get the following table of values:
$x$$0$$1$$2$
$y$$-2$$-1$$0$

Plot the points $(0, -2)$,$(1, -1)$,and $(2, 0)$ on a Cartesian plane. By joining these points,we obtain a straight line $PQ$. This line $PQ$ represents the graph of the linear equation $x - y = 2$.
