The linear function is .

Replace with y

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

                     (Substitute 0 for x)

                           (Apply Zero propduct property: )

                             (Apply Additive identity property: )

The y-intercept is 1. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, 1).

The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.

                         (Substitute 0 for y)

According to addition property of equality: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.

            (Add 1 to each side)

                  (Apply Additive identity property: )

                              (Apply Additive inverse property: )

Apply division property of equality: if a = b, then.

                         (Divide each side by 4)

                              (Cancel common terms)

The x-intercept is . The graph crosses the x-axis at (, 0).

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.      Draw a coordinate plane

2.      Plot the points

3.      Draw a line through these points.

The graph is.
