Q:

If a linear equation is written in form y=1/2x-2, which method could be used to graph the line represented by the equation?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:slope intercept method of graphingStep-by-step explanation:The equation of the linear function is [tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x-2[/tex]This is in the form of slope intercept form of a line y = mx +bHere, Β [tex]m=\frac{1}{2},b=-2[/tex]Thus, we can use the slope intercept method of graphing to plot the graph of the equation.In this method, we do below steps:-Plot the y-intercept first.Then using the definition of slope which is slope = rise/run, we can find rise and run.Then from the y-intercept , we can find the second point using rise and run.So, we can conclude that slope intercept method of graphing to plot the graph of the equation.
