Graph y=1/2x+2

Problem

y=1/2*x+2

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 2 This gives the starting point (0,2) on the y-axis.

3. Determine the slope m which is 1/2 This represents the "rise over run," meaning for every 1 unit you move up, you move 2 units to the right.

4. Find a second point by starting at (0,2) and applying the slope: move up 1 and right 2 to reach the point (2,3)

5. Draw the line through the points (0,2) and (2,3) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=1/2*x+2
