Which graph represents the function y = ½x + 4½ − 3?

Assuming that what you wrote is the CORRECT problem, I would simplify the   "4½−3"  which would give me,  1½ . Then I would re-write it.

$\Large\color{black}{ \bf y=\frac{1}{2}x +1\frac{1}{2} }$

Now, you would have to plug in a couple of points for x.

$\Large\color{black}{ \bf y=\frac{1}{2}x +1\frac{1}{2} }$   plugging in 2 for x,

$\Large\color{black}{ \bf y=\frac{1}{2}(2) +1\frac{1}{2} }$

$\Large\color{black}{ \bf y=1+1\frac{1}{2} }$

$\Large\color{black}{ \bf y=2\frac{1}{2} }$   so when x=2, y=2, 1/2   thus ( 2,  2  1/2)

can you find more coordinates similarly and graph the fnction.
