Enter

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.
