See a solution process below:

To graph a linear equation we need to find two points on the line and then draw a straight line through them

Point 1:

Let $x = 0$ :

$0 + y = 2$

$y = 2$ or $(0, 2)$

Point 2:

Let $y = 0$ :

$x + 0 = 2$

$x = 2$ or $(2, 0)$

Graph:

graph{(x+y-2)(x^2+(y-2)^2-0.04)((x-2)^2+y^2-0.04)=0}

How do you graph the line x + y = 2x + y = 2?
