Answer:

The first two statements are true.

Click "The y-intercept of the line is 2" and "The graph is a straight line"

Explanation:

The most important thing to know for this question is the equation of a line, y=mx+c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept (where the lines crosses the y-axis).

Our formula is y= -
(1)/(2)x+2, which means the y-intercept is 2. Therefore, the first statement is true.

The equation follows the general equation for a straight line, so the second statement is true.

Our formula is y= -
(1)/(2)x+2, which means the slope is -
(1)/(2), not
(1)/(2). Therefore, the third statement is not true.

For a line to pass through the origin (0,0), it's y-intercept must be 0, but we already know the y-intercept here is 2. Therefore, the fourth statement is not true.

To see if the line passes through (0, -2), we must sub these values into the equation and see if it makes sense

y= -
(1)/(2)x+2?

-2=-
(1)/(2)(0)+2?

-2 = 2? This is not true, so the last statement is also not true.

Answer:

A. yes the y-intercept is 2

B. the graph is a straight line

C. The Slope of the Line is 1/2

D. The line Does Not pass through the origin

Explanation:

A. the y-intercept is when x=0... y=(
(-1)/(2)*0)+2

B. It is a straight line because x is raised to the 1st power and not another number

C. Although the slope of the equation is
(-1)/(2)... the slope is still 1/2

D. The line Does Not pass through the origin

origin= (0,0)

x=0 --> y=(
(-1)/(2)*0)+2=

y=0---> 0=(
(-1)/(2)*x)+2


(-x)/(2)=2---> x=-4
