Question

How do I graph y=-1/2x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

First graph -1 (0, -1) on the graph. Then go 1 unit down and 2 units to the right. Mark the point and draw a line passing the point. Hope this helps, thank you

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the x and y intercept, and determine the slope.

X-intercept:

$0=-\frac{1}{2}x-1\\1=-\frac{1}{2}x\\x=-2$

It crosses the x-axis at x = -2

Y-intercept:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}(0)-1\\y=-1$

It crosses the y-axis at y = -1

Slope:

y = mx + b

m = slope = -1/2
