Graph y=1/2x+4

Problem

y=1/2*x+4

Solution

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

2. Determine the y-intercept by looking at the constant b which is 4 This corresponds to the point (0,4) on the coordinate plane.

3. Identify the slope m which is 1/2 This represents the "rise over run," meaning for every 1 unit the graph moves up, it moves 2 units to the right.

4. Plot a second point by starting at (0,4) and applying the slope: move up 1 unit and right 2 units to reach the point (2,5)

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

Final Answer

y=1/2*x+4
