Graph the linear equation. Identify the x-intercept.

1. y=-1/2x+1

1 answer

To graph the linear equation y = -1/2x + 1, we first need to find the x-intercept.

To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x:

0 = -1/2x + 1
1/2x = 1
x = 2

So the x-intercept is at point (2, 0).

Now, we can plot the y-intercept at point (0, 1) and the x-intercept at point (2, 0) and draw a line through these two points to graph the equation y = -1/2x + 1.

The graph of the linear equation y = -1/2x + 1 is a straight line passing through the points (0, 1) and (2, 0).
