Question

Graph the lines given by the following equation y = 3 − 1/2 x

Answer 1

In order to graph this line, first let's find two ordered pairs that are solution to the equation.

To do so, let's choose two values of x and calculate the corresponding values of y.

Using x = 0 and x = 2, we have:

$\begin{gathered} x=0\colon \\ y=3-0=3 \\ \\ x=2\colon \\ y=3-1=2 \end{gathered}$

Now, graphing the points (0, 3), (2, 2) and the corresponding line, we have:
