Using the slope and y-intercept, describe the graph of the line whose equation is y = 0.5x Using the slope and y-intercept, describe the graph of the line whose equation is y = 0.5x

The y-intercept of this line is 0, because when we put x = 0, we obtain y = 0. This line is also less steep than the line of y = x because it has a slope of less than 1. The line passes through the origin and goes through the first and third quadrants because its slope is positive.
