Question

SOME ONE PLEASE HELP
y=1/2x-5 i have to graph it and there is only two points

Answer 1

Well you can see that this is a linear function.....just a y-intercept of -5 and an slope of 1/2....

so 1 point would be

(0 , -5) ...gotten by plugging in 0 for 'x'
y = 1/2(0) - 5
y = 0 - 5
y = -5

Now to get the other point you would need...just plug in 0 for 'y' this time and solve for x

0 = 1/2x - 5
5 = 1/2x
10 = x

so your second point would be (10 , 0)

So now you have 2 points....and you have a straight line function...so just use a straight line to connect these 2 points...and that will be your graph
