y=1/2x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=1/2x [The slope is (1/2) the y-intercept is zero (but isn't shown)
y=(1/2)x + 0
Plot the y-intercept (0,0). Using the slope of 1/2, move up one space from (0,0) and move to the left two spaces. Plot point (2, 1). From (2,1) move up one space and over two spaces to point (4, 2).
.
Stating over, go to the y-intercept again. Using the the slope (-1/-2)(same slope, different form). Move down one space and to the left two spaces to point (-2, -1). From (-2,-1) move down one space and to the left two spaces to point (-4, -2).
.
Connect the dots for the graph of the line y=1/2x + 0:
