Linear Graph Identification 641550
1. **Problem 1:** Identify the graph represented by the linear relation $y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2$.
2. The equation is in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. Here, $m = \frac{1}{2}$ (positive slope) and $b = 2$.
4. A positive slope means the line rises from left to right.
5. Among the options:
- A: line goes from bottom-left to top-right (rising)
- B: line goes from top-left to bottom-right (falling)
- C: line goes downwards from left to right
6. Since $m > 0$, the correct graph is **A**.

1. **Problem 2:** Which equation matches the graph described as a line with points plotted, slope going upwards from left to right?
2. The graph has a positive slope and y-intercept at 2.
3. Check each equation:
- A: $y = \frac{3}{2}x + 2$ (positive slope)
- B: $y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2$ (negative slope)
- C: $y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 2$ (negative slope)
4. Since the graph slope is positive, the matching equation is **A**.
**Final answers:**
- For the first question: Graph A
- For the second question: Equation A
