How do you graph #y=1/2x-1#?
1 Answer
Refer to the explanation.
Explanation:
Given:
Find the y-intercept by substituting
The y-intercept is
The slope
You can also find a lower point by moving down one space from the y-intercept and to the left two. This will be point
You can keep adding points moving up one and down two to the right from each positive point and moving down one and two to the left from each negative point.
However, you only need two points to graph a straight line. Draw a straight line through the points.
