How do you graph y equals one fourth X?

Answer 1

y=(1/4)x represents a slope-intercept equation. You graph it by inserting a value for x, like 8, and then solving the equation to see what y equals. In this instance, you can see that if x=8, then y=(1/4)*(8) and therefore, y=2. So, you graph x=8 and y=2 for a single point. To get a second point, insert another x value, like 4, and that will lead to another y value; 1. The 2 points here are (8,2) and (4,1); to get the line, simply draw a line that goes through both the points.
