Question

Graph the function y = –0.5 + 2. (1 point) Responses The function starts at the point left-parenthesis 3 comma 2 right-parenthesis. As the x-values increase, the y-values decrease. The function curves slightly upward. The function appears to pass through the point left-parenthesis 7 comma 1 right-parenthesis.

Answer 1

The correct graph is the third option: The function starts at the point (3, 2). As the x-values increase, the y-values also increase. The function curves slightly downward. The function passes through the point (6, 4).
