Answer 2

1) starting point is where x = 0
y = 0.5 + 3(0)

as x increases the value of y will also increase

Answer 3

2) starting point= 3(0.5)* 0 = ?

what do you think happens to y as x increases?

Answer 4

As x increase y would too?

Answer 5

Would the starting point for function #1 be .5 and the starting point for function #2 be 1?
