Question

With the following equations, make a tables of values. Identify the x and y intercepts.

Equation: y-3=0.5x

Answer 1

Is your whole class here; I just answered this question 10 minutes ago! :)

Answer 2

Its just me, but what are some other values for the table?

Answer 3

Since the x is multiplied by 0.5, if you pick x-values that are multiples of 2, it will be easier to solve. Also, change the equation to y=0.5x+3.
Then, when
x=2, y=0.5(2)+3=1+3=4
x=4, y=0.5(4)+3=2+3=5
x=6, y=0.5(6)+3=3+3=6
etc.

Answer 4

Thanks

Answer 5

You could also throw in a few negative values of x:
x=-2, then y=0.5(-2)+3=-1+3=2
x=-4, then y=0.5(-4)+3=-2+3=1
etc

Good?

Answer 6

Yeah, thanks again.
