Question

Use a table of values to graph each equation.

 $y=0.5x-1$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The table of values to graph the given equation $y=0.5x-1$ is:

$x$	$y=0.5x-1$	$\left(x,y\right)$
0	$y=0.5\left(0\right)-1=-1$	$\left(0,-1\right)$
$-2$	$y=0.5\left(-2\right)-1=-2$	$\left(-2,-2\right)$
$-5$	$y=0.5\left(-5\right)-1=-3.5$	$\left(-5,-3.5\right)$
31	$y=0.5\left(1\right)-1=-0.5$	$\left(1,-0.5\right)$
3	$y=0.5\left(3\right)-1=0.5$	$\left(3,0.5\right)$

The graph of the given equation $y=0.5x-1$ is:

Step 1. Write a table of values to graph the given equation y = 0.5 x − 1 .

The table of values to graph the given equation   is:

$x$	$y=0.5x-1$	$\left(x,y\right)$
0	$y=0.5\left(0\right)-1=-1$	$\left(0,-1\right)$
$-2$	$y=0.5\left(-2\right)-1=-2$	$\left(-2,-2\right)$
$-5$	$y=0.5\left(-5\right)-1=-3.5$	$\left(-5,-3.5\right)$
1	$y=0.5\left(1\right)-1=-0.5$	$\left(1,-0.5\right)$
3	$y=0.5\left(3\right)-1=0.5$	$\left(3,0.5\right)$

Step 2. Draw the graph of the given equation y = 0.5 x − 1 .

The graph of the given equation $y=0.5x-1$ is:
