Question

what is the graph of y+3=1/2(x-2)

Answer 1

y + 3 = 1/2(x - 2) -- distribute through the parenthesis
y + 3 = 1/2x - 1 -- subtract 3 from both sides
y = 1/2x - 4

In y = mx + b form, the m is the slope and the b is the y intercept.
So in this case, the slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is (0,-4)

To find the x intercept, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
y = 1/2x - 4
0 = 1/2x - 4
-1/2x = -4
x = -4 / (-1/2)
x = -4 * -2/1
x = 8...so your x intercept is (8,0)

That graph you posted IS NOT the graph to the equation given

Answer 2

Sorry.. My computer lagged. It showed I was in OS feedback.. when I was in math lol
