Question

How do you graph `y= (1/2)x` by plotting points?

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

I would suggest you chose different values to those I have.

Set `x=10` thus `y=1/2xx10=5`

Giving point 1 `->P_1->(x,y)=(10,5)`

Mark this point on the graph paper

Set `x=-10` thus `y=1/2xx(-10) = -5`

Giving point 2 `->P_2->(x,y)=(-10,-5)`

Mark this point on the graph paper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using a rule draw a line through these two points. Extend the line to the edges of the graph paper area.
