Answer: The graph is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
We can find "b" substituting the slope and coordinates of the (4,3) into thte equation [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], and then solving for "b":
[tex]3=\frac{1}{2}(4)+b\\\\3-2=b\\\\b=1[/tex]
By definition, the line intersects the x-axis when "y" is zero.
Then, we need to substitute the y-intercept and [tex]y=0[/tex] into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] and then solve for "x" in order to find the x-intercept:
[tex]0=\frac{1}{2}x+1\\\\-1(2)=x\\\\x=-2[/tex]
Knowing the x-intercept and the y-intercept, we can graph the line (The graph is attached)
Answer:
Since, the equation of a line passes through [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] with slope m is,
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
Thus, the equation of line passes through (4, 3) with slope [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is,
[tex]y-3=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)[/tex]
[tex]2y - 6 = x - 4[/tex]
[tex]x-2y = -6 + 4[/tex]
[tex]x-2y = -2[/tex]
If x = 0,
[tex]-2y=-2\implies y =1[/tex]
Thus, the line intersects y-axis at (0, 1),
If y = 0,
[tex]x-2(0) = -2\implies x = - 2[/tex]
Thus, the line intersects x-axis at (-2, 0),
By joining the points (0, 1) and (-2, 0) we get the graph of the given line ( shown below )
