NEED HELP NEED HELP please if you know show me how you got the answer

Answer 1

Graph Points (0.-4) and (8,0) and connect the dots into a line

Explanation:

To graph y=1/2x-4 you will need to find the y and x-intercept. To find an intercept you have to substitute the x and y variables with 0 one at a time. I first substitute the x variable with an 0 and got the equation y=-4 so my y-intercept is (0.-4). Then I substituted the y variable with 0 and got 0=1/2x-4, I added 4 on each side to get rid of it and got 4=1/2x. I then multiplied both sides by 2 to get the x by itself and got 8=x so my x-intercept is (8,0). Whenever your graphing slope-intercept form equations just find the y and x-intercepts, graph them, connect the dots.

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

It says to Graph y = 1/2x - 4

So equation y = 1/2x - 4

this corresponds to slope intercept form which is y = mx + b

M = slope = rise / run

B = y - intercept

First, start at the origin, (0,0)

Then go down 4, you should now be on the coordinate (0,4)

Now we need to use the slope.

The slope is 1 / 2, this means rise 1, run 2 (in this case 2 to the right because it is positive)

So, start at (0 , 4) and go up 1 unit then 2 to the right, then place a dot, keep repeating until you meet the end of the paper.

Then do the opposite so that you can graph the other side.

Down 1 and 2 to the left.
