Graph y=1/2x+1

Problem

y=1/2*x+1

Solution

1. Identify the equation type, which is a linear equation in slope-intercept form y=m*x+b

2. Determine the y-intercept by looking at the constant b which is 1 giving the point (0,1)

3. Identify the slope m which is 1/2 representing a "rise" of 1 unit for every "run" of 2 units.

4. Find a second point by starting at (0,1) and moving up 1 unit and right 2 units to reach (2,2)

5. Draw the line through the points (0,1) and (2,2) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=1/2*x+1
