Question

How do you graph using the intercepts for `-2x+y=1`?

Answer 1

`"x-intercept " = -1/2, " y-intercept " = 1`

Explanation:

`-2x + y = 1`

When y = 0, `-2x = 1 " or x-intercept " = -1/2`

Similarly, when x = 0, `y = 1 " or y-intercept " = 1`

Now we can plot two points `(x_1, y_1) = (-1/2, 0), (x_2,y_2) = (0,1)` on a graph sheet to get the the line.
