Question

Which graph represents y=1/2x+2 please help!!

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s first look at the y-intercept. Since the equation is in y = mx + b form, we know that m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 2, or (0,2). We can narrow down our search by noticing that C and D don’t intersect (0,2). That leaves A and B.

The slope is calculated by (y_1 - y_2)/(x_1 - x_2) given points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2). The slope for A is (4-0)/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 and the slope for B is (2-0)/(0-(-4)) = 2/4 = 1/2. The slope of B matches the slope that we are looking for. So, the answer is B.
