y=1/2x
I determined that the ordered pairs tha could be graphed are 0,2 and 3,0 I'm not sure if these are correct and I am unable to determine the y intercept. Is it 4?
To determine if the ordered pairs (0, 2) and (3, 0) are correct for the equation y = 1/2x, we can substitute the x and y values into the equation and check if they satisfy it.
Let's start with the first ordered pair (0, 2):
Substituting x = 0 and y = 2 into the equation, we get:
2 = 1/2 * 0
2 = 0
Since 2 does not equal 0, the first ordered pair (0, 2) does not satisfy the equation y = 1/2x.
Now let's check the second ordered pair (3, 0):
Substituting x = 3 and y = 0 into the equation, we get:
0 = 1/2 * 3
0 = 3/2
Similarly, 0 does not equal 3/2, so the second ordered pair (3, 0) does not satisfy the equation y = 1/2x either.
Now, moving on to finding the y-intercept of the equation y = 1/2x. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.
Let's substitute x = 0 into the equation and solve for y:
y = 1/2 * 0
y = 0
We can see that when x is 0, y is also 0. Therefore, the y-intercept is 0, not 4.
In summary:
- The ordered pairs (0, 2) and (3, 0) do not satisfy the equation y = 1/2x.
- The y-intercept of the equation y = 1/2x is 0, not 4.
