Ans(1):
Given equation is f(x)=-1.5x+6
we can plug any number like x=0 and x=2 to find the f(x) also called y-value
plug x=0
f(x)=-1.5x+6 =-1.5*0+6 =0+6 =6
Hence first point is (0,6)
plug x=2
f(x)=-1.5x+6 =-1.5*2+6 =-3+6 =3
Hence first point is (2,3)
now we can graph both points then join them to get final graph of f(x)=-1.5x+6
---------------------
Ans(2):
We can repeat exactly same process for f(x) = -1/2x-5.
So the final graph will look like attached picture:
Answer:
x-intercept ⇨ -1/3
y-intercept ⇨ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
⟺ Finding the x-intercept, substitute y = 0
Move 1 to subtract the another side.
Then move 3 to divide -1, leaving only x as a subject since we want to find the x-intercept.

⟺ Finding the y-intercept, substitute x = 0

Tips:
Here's the tips about finding the intercepts of the graph.
⟺ For x-intercept, It's like solving an equation to find the x-term.
⟺ For y-intercept, It's like using the constant to answer.
As for y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
For a linear function, It's not necessary to substitute x = 0 just to find y-intercept as we can answer the constant as our y-intercept.
