Question 672439: whats the graph look like with a line through (-8,0) with 1/2 slope

Use the point slope to find the linear equation
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-0 = 1%2F2(x--8)
y = 1%2F2x + 1%2F2(8)
y = %281%2F2%29x+%2B+4
...
y intercept is 4
Plot (0, 4)
...
x intercept is when y = 0
0 = %281%2F2%29x+%2B+4
-4 = 1%2F2x
x = -8
Plot (-8, 0)
...
Draw a line connecting these intercepts
