Construct the linear function for the graph

y = 0.5x -3 or y = 1/2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx+b

m = slope = change in y/change in x = 1 / 2

b = y intercept = (0,-3)

y= 1/2x-3

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
