To analyze and solve the equation \( Y = 2x + 4y \), we need to clarify whether you are looking to:

1. Solve for one variable in terms of the others.
2. Graph the equation.
3. Simplify or transform the equation.

However, there appears to be a typo or a misunderstanding in the equation, as it includes both \( Y \) and \( y \). Assuming you meant to write it as a linear equation in two variables, it should typically be either \( Y = 2x + 4 \) or \( y = 2x + 4 \). I'll address both possibilities below:

### 1. If the equation is \( Y = 2x + 4 \):

This is a linear equation where \( Y \) depends on \( x \):

- **Slope-intercept form**: \( Y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
- Here, \( m = 2 \) and \( b = 4 \).

**Graphing**:
1. The slope (\( m \)) is 2, meaning for every unit increase in \( x \), \( Y \) increases by 2.
2. The y-intercept (\( b \)) is 4, meaning the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 4).

### 2. If the equation is \( y = 2x + 4 \):

This is also a linear equation in the standard form \( y = mx + b \).

**Graphing**:
1. The slope (\( m \)) is 2, indicating a steepness of 2 units up for every 1 unit right.
2. The y-intercept (\( b \)) is 4, so the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 4).

### If you meant something different or have a specific question about solving for a variable, simplifying, or another transformation, please let me know.

Would you like further details or have any questions about these equations?

### Questions to Expand Understanding:
1. How do you determine the slope of a linear equation?
2. What does the y-intercept represent in a graph?
3. How would you graph the equation \( Y = 2x + 4 \)?
4. Can we convert the equation \( Y = 2x + 4 \) into another form?
5. What are the characteristics of a linear equation?
6. How does changing the slope affect the graph of a line?
7. How do we find the x-intercept of the equation \( Y = 2x + 4 \)?
8. Can we write this equation in point-slope form?

### Tip:
To graph a linear equation quickly, always start by plotting the y-intercept and then use the slope to determine another point on the line.
