Question 1019919
Put the equation into the form y = mx + b
In this form , b represents the y intercept,
where the line crosses the x axis.
This crossing point is (0,b)

y = 1/2 (3x + 1) - 1
y = 3/2x + 1/2 - 1
y = 3/2x - 1/2
-1/2 is the b in the (0,b) or in this case (0,-1/2) y-intercept
A) and D) are incorrect because they have the wrong intercept.

The x-intercept is determined when the value of y is zero.
Substitute into y = 3/2x - 1/2 the value of zero for y
0 = 3/2x - 1/2
add 1/2 to each side
1/2 = 3/2x
Multiply each side by 2/3
2/6 = x
1/3 = x
So the answer is C) x-intercept ( 1/3 , 0 )
