Question

How do I draw a 1/2 slope on a graph

Answer 1

To plot the graph with slope 1/2, we need to have a table of values for x and y. Starting from the origin, for every 1 unit move in the x-axis, the y-axis increase by 1/2.

How to draw a slope of a graph.

The linear equation can be expressed in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b. From the formula, the slope of the graph is (m).

So, if we are asked to draw of a graph with slope 1/2. Then, let assume that the y-intercept (b) is zero.

`y = (1)/(2)x+ 0`

`y = (1)/(2)x`

Starting the origin (0,0) on the graph, for every increase in 1 unit to the x-axis, the y-axis rise by 1/2 unit. Using GeoGebra to plot the graph of
`y = (1)/(2)x`, the graph can be seen in the image attached below.

Using the table of values:

x -2 2 0 4 -4

y -1 1 0 2 -2
