Graph y=-1/2x+3

Problem

y=−1/2*x+3

Solution

1. Identify the slope-intercept form of the linear equation, which is y=m*x+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

2. Determine the y-intercept from the equation, which is b=3 This corresponds to the point (0,3) on the graph.

3. Identify the slope m=−1/2 This represents a "rise" of −1 for every "run" of 2

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

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

Final Answer

y=−1/2*x+3
