You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=%281%2F2%29x...here you have a linear function because x%5E1
to graph this line you will need two points
choose two values for x and calculate y
if x=0...=>..y=%281%2F2%29%2A0=0
if x=2...=>..y=%281%2F2%29%2A2=2%2F2=1
make a table
x|y
0|0
2|1
plot these points and draw a line through:
