You need to choose three numbers for x and solve for y, then graph the points.
y=1%2F2x-1
lets start with making x=1
so solve the equation;
y=1%2F2(1)-1
y=1%2F2-1
y=-1%2F2
first point = (1,-1%2F2)
now let x=2
y=1%2F2(2)-1
y=2%2F2-1
y=0
Next point (2,0)
for third:
x=4
y=1%2F2(4)-1
y=4%2F2-1
y=2-1
y=1
3rd point (4,1)
