Graph this function:
y = -1/2 x – 3
Click to select points on the graph.
To graph the function ( y = -frac{1}{2}x – 3 ), follow these steps:
1. Identify the slope and y-intercept: The slope is (-frac{1}{2}) and the y-intercept is (-3). This means the graph will cross the y-axis at the point (0, -3).
2. Plot the y-intercept: Start by marking the point (0, -3) on the graph.
3. Use the slope to find another point: Since the slope is (-frac{1}{2}), for every 2 units you move to the right (positive direction on the x-axis), you move 1 unit down (negative direction on the y-axis). From (0, -3), move right 2 units to (2, -3) and then down 1 unit to (2, -4).
4. Plot the second point: Mark (2, -4) on the graph.
5. Draw the line: Connect the two points with a straight line. This line will extend indefinitely in both directions.
Now you have a linear graph representing the function ( y = -frac{1}{2}x – 3 ).
