Answer:
The graph for y = (1/2)x + 1 is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (1/2)x + 1
This line has a slope of 1/2. That is a positive line, so option A is incorrect. It also has a y-intercept of 1. The value of y when x is zero is 1. There are two graphs in which the line intersects (0,1): A and C. But A has already been rejected, so it must by Graph C:
Double check this to see if the slope is 1/2. Does y increase by 1/2 for every step of 1 on x? Graph C:
x y
-2 0
-1 1/2
0 1
+1 1 1/2
+2 2
Yes: Y increases by (1/2) for every x increase of 1.
The graph for y = (1/2)x + 1 is C.
