How do you graph # y = -1/2 x#?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

#m=-1/2#

#b=0#

In slope intercept form:

#y=mx+b# this function has a slope #m=-1/2# and #y-"int"=0#

graph{-1/2x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

To graph the equation y = -1/2 x, you can start by plotting points. Since it's a linear equation, you only need two points to draw the line. Choose any two values for x, find the corresponding y values using the equation, and then plot those points on a coordinate plane. Connect the points with a straight line to graph the equation.
