Question

Which procedure could be used to graph the line represented by the following equation?

y= 1/2x+3

Answer 1

Is it 'Plot the x intercept (3,0) and use the slope of 1/2 to find the 2nd point?'

Answer 2

The + 3 denotes the Y-intercept as in, if x = 0, what does y =? The X-intercept is where does the line hit the X-axis or where is the Y = 0.

Answer 3

There are other options, I just thought that this one was the answer.

Answer 4

Well x=3, right?

Answer 5

1) Plot the y-intercept (0,3)
2) Use the slope to find the second point (2,4)
3) Draw line through the two points.

Answer 6

If x = 3, what does y equal?

Answer 7

Set x to zero and solve for y. Result: (0,y)
Set y to zero and solve for x. Result: (x,0)
You now have two points.

A plot is attached.

Answer 8

I'm confused.

Answer 9

I would go with either my response or @robtobey 's response.
However, based upon the format of your previous answer, I would guess that mine is the format that would work best.

Answer 10

Well, in the options, they don't have 2,4 as a slope

Answer 11

Is the y intercept (0,3) ?

Answer 12

That isn't the slope...... that is the second point. You should know what the slope is from given equation.
And yes, the y intercept is (0,3).
