Question

Which is the graph of the linear function that is represented by the equation y = one-half x minus 2? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 1, 0) and (0, 2). On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 2, 0) and (0, 1). On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, negative 2) and (4, 0). On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, negative 2) and (1, 0).

Answer 1

The answer would be the graph where the line goes through (0, -2) and (4,0).

Explanation:

You can check this by plugging the coordinates into the equation you gave, which is y = 1/2x-2. So, you can check the first coordinates, (0,-2) by plugging in 0 for x and making sure you get an answer of y = -2. So, you would have the equation y=1/2(0)-2. If you simplify that equation, you get y=-2, which shows that this equation would go through the point (0,-2). You can do the same thing for the coordinate (4, 0), where you plug in 4 for x and get y=0. y=1/2(4)-2, simplify it and you get y=0.
