Transcript text: Graph the line.
\[
y=\frac{1}{2} x+5
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Plotting the y-intercept
The y-intercept is at (0, 5). This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
Step 2: Using the slope to determine the direction and steepness of the line
The slope of the line is 0.5, which means for every one unit we move right along the x-axis,
we move 0.5 units vertically. Therefore, a second point on the line can be found at (1, 5.5).
Step 3: Drawing the line
A straight line is drawn through these points extending in both directions.
Final Answer: The equation of the line is \(y = 0.5x + 5\).
