we have the equation

y=-(1/2)x+7

Remember that

To graph a line we need al lest two points

so

Find the intercepts

step 1

Find the y-intercept (value of y when the value of x is zero)

For x=0

y=-(1/2)(0)+7

y=7

y-intercept is (0,7)

step 2

Find the x-intercept (value of x when the value of y is zero)

For y=0

o=-(1/2)x+7

(1/2)x=7

x=14

x-intercept is (14,0)

step 3

Plot the intercepts and join them to graph the line

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

please wait a secon to draw the line
