Question

I ned help to Graph the lines given by the following equations for y = 3 − 1/2 x

Answer 1

Step 1:

Write the function.

`\begin{gathered} y\text{ = 3 - }(1)/(2)x \\ \end{gathered}`

Step 2:

Rearrange the function in the form of y = mx + c

`\begin{gathered} y\text{ = -}(1)/(2)x\text{ + 3} \\ \text{The graph will come downward from left to the right because of it } \\ \text{negative slope.} \\ \text{When x = 0, } \\ y\text{ = -}(1)/(2)(0)\text{ + 3 = 3} \\ \text{when y = 0} \\ 0\text{ = -}(1)/(2)x\text{ + 3} \\ (1)/(2)x\text{ = 3} \\ x\text{ = 6} \end{gathered}`

Step 3:

You can plot the graph using the coordinates (0, 3) and (6, 0)
