Question

If a linear equation is written in form y=1/2x-2, which method could be used to graph the line represented by the equation?

Answer 1

To graph the line y=1/2x-2 you plot your first point at (0,-2) because that is your y-intercept and then you go up one and over two and plot your next point and you keep doing that until it forms a line and to go the other way you go down one left two.   Hope this helps :D

Answer 2

Answer:

slope intercept method of graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the linear function is $y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

This is in the form of slope intercept form of a line y = mx +b

Here,  

$m=\frac{1}{2},b=-2$

Thus, we can use the slope intercept method of graphing to plot the graph of the equation.

In this method, we do below steps:-

• Plot the y-intercept first.
• Then using the definition of slope which is slope = rise/run, we can find rise and run.
• Then from the y-intercept , we can find the second point using rise and run.

So, we can conclude that slope intercept method of graphing to plot the graph of the equation.
