Answers:

(12, 7)

(20, 11)

(32, 17)

There are infinitely many possible answers.

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given to us is the same as y = 0.5x+1 because 1/2 = 0.5

If we replace x with even numbers, then we'll get whole number outputs for y.

Example: if x = 12, then y = 0.5x+1 = 0.5*12+1 = 7

This leads to (12,7) as one solution to this equation. A solution is a point that is on the line. Use graphing software like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm.

Another example: if x = 20, then y = 0.5x+1 = 0.5*20+1 = 11. Therefore, another solution point is (20, 11)

Final example: If x = 32, then y = 0.5x+1 = 0.5*32+1 = 17. This gives the point (32,17)

There are infinitely many possible answers since we can replace x with infinitely many real numbers.
