Question

I need to graph the equation and indetify the y-interception
y=1/2 x

Answer 1

To find the y intercept algebraically, which is in my opinion much easier for an equation like this, set y=0 and solve for x.
If you must do it graphically for an assignment there are a variety of online tools that will graph simple equations for you. Try wolfram alpha for example:

Answer 2

Thank you...I am having trouble with the y intercept. the answer that I have for teh graphing is y=x/2 . I will try the wolframalpha website.

Answer 3

if y=1/2x that means that the y intercept will be 0

Answer 4

@karinalol well... yes

Answer 5

The ordered pair is (0,2)?

Answer 6

@stilenx for y-int, it is at x=0, so you should put x=0 into the equation instead of y=0

Answer 7

and if you have the equation in the form y=mx+c, like the one in the question, y=(1/2)x
m= slope , and c= y-intercept
so from the equation, you can directly find out that the slope is 1/2 and the y-int is 0 (since you have no numbers behind 'mx')

Answer 8

I think I have that part of the question? I need to find the ordered pair?

Answer 9

not sure, but to graph the equation, you need to find 2 points

Answer 10

I graphed the equation correctly and now I have to provide an ordered pa

Answer 11

what order pair?
