Graph y=1/2x+3

Problem

y=1/2*x+3

Solution

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

2. Determine the y-intercept by looking at the constant b Here, b=3 so the graph crosses the y-axis at the point (0,3)

3. Determine the slope by looking at the coefficient m Here, m=1/2 which represents the "rise over run."

4. Plot a second point by starting at (0,3) and moving up 1 unit (rise) and right 2 units (run) to reach the point (2,4)

5. Draw the line passing through the points (0,3) and (2,4) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=1/2*x+3
