how do i graph 1/2x+y=4

Question

anonymous · Answer

1/(2x+y) or (1/2x) + y?

anonymous · Answer

y = -(1/2)x + 4

anonymous · Answer

The graph is a straight line.  To graph pick two points which this equation satisfies and draw a straight line through them.  For example (0,4) and (2,2).

anonymous · Answer

this is in the form of y = ax+b where b is the y=intercept and a = value of slope.

first. you draw a point at the y-intercept. this is where x = 0.

since the slope is less than 1, we know that the y values get smaller. this means we know our graph will go downwards.

move as many units to the right as the numerator  (1)
move as many units up or down (positive or negative) as the denominator (-2)

were the slope = -3. youd go 3 right 1 down; slope = 5: 5 right, 1 up

anonymous · Answer

there is a point of the graph every time you move the value of the slope

anonymous · Answer

Set x = 0, find y

Set y = 0 find x

Now you have 2 points, draw aline through  them.
