Answer:
y = 1/2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
This formula is currently written in point-slope form (y+ + y1 = m (x + x1). To graph it easier, the first thing you would do is make it slope-intercept form (y=mx + b).
First, distribute the 1/2 into the parenthesis.
1/2(x+2)
1/2x + 1
Then, the equation should look like this: y+2 = 1/2x + 1
The next step is to subtract the 2 from both sides.
It should look like this:
y = 1/2x -1
Graph it by first plotting the y-intercept, -1, on the y-axis, and counting up 1 space and to the right 2 spaces, then drawing a line. I hope this helped!
