Question

Which one is the correct graph

Graph f(x) = -1/2x


Click on the graph until the graph of f(x) = -1/2x appears

Answer 1

The third graph

Explanation:

The third graph depicts the function f(x) = -1/2x because for every 1 unit decrease along the y-axis, you travel 2 units on the x-axis.

Also, the two points on the third graph can satisfy the equation.

Point 1: (-2,1)

f(-2) = (-1/2)(-2)

f(-2) = 1

Point 2: (0,0)

f(0) = (-1/2)(0)

f(0) = 0
