Problem: What is the answer to 1/2x=y+2
To complete her graph, Angie needs to solve 1/2x=y+2, what is her answer?
We want y on the left side of the equation, all by itself.
1/2 x = y + 2
1/2 x - 2 = y + 2 - 2
1/2 x - 2 = y
We can rearrange this, with y on the left.
y = 1/2 x - 2
That is a linear equation that can be graphed.
