Question Find the equation of a line with slope 0.5.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The equation given is $y = 0.5x$ .
2. We are asked to describe the relationship between $y$ and $x$ or to solve for $y$ given a value of $x$ , or vice versa.

STEP 2

The equation $y = 0.5x$ represents a linear relationship between $y$ and $x$ . This means that for every unit increase in $x$ , $y$ increases by 0.5 units.

STEP 3

To find the value of $y$ for a given $x$ , we simply multiply $x$ by 0.5.
$y = 0.5 \cdot x$

STEP 4

If we want to solve for $x$ given a value of $y$ , we need to rearrange the equation to solve for $x$ .
$x = \frac{y}{0.5}$

STEP 5

This equation can also be graphed on a coordinate plane. The graph will be a straight line passing through the origin (0,0) with a slope of 0.5.
