Graph the lines by finding the points of intersection with the axes (intercepts): y=− 1/2 x−1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following function:

2. You can rewrite it as following:

3. The line intersects the y-axis when , therefore:

4.  The line intersects the x-axis when :

5. Now plot the points (0, 0.5) and (1,0) in a graph , as you can see in the figure attached.

Therefore, the answer is: The points of intersection are (0, 0.5) and (1,0).

Graph in attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To graph the line using intercepts with axis.

x-intercept and y-intercept

x-intercept: (-2,0)

y-intercept: (0,-1)

Now draw the graph by plotting the points.

Please have a look with attachment for graph.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
