Question

How do you graph `f(x)=(1/2)x` by plotting points?

Answer 1

See the explanation

Explanation:

Decide on a range of values for `x`

For each `x` value calculate `1/2xx x` and this is the value for `y`

Some people say that for a straight line you only need 2 points as you draw a line through them with a rule.

I would suggest that a minimum of 3 points is better. If all the points do not line up then at least one of your calculations is wrong.

Show your values in a table. This gives you extra communication marks.

You do not need to colour the table! I have only done so to make things clearer

Draw your axis for `x` and `y`. Label these as it again gives you extra points for good communication.

Mark and label your points. Again you get extra marks
