Graph Using a Table of Values y=0.25x-0.5

$y = 0.25 x - 0.5$

Step 1

Substitute $- 2$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 0.25 (- 2) - 0.5$

Step 2

Simplify $0.25 (- 2) - 0.5$ .

Multiply $0.25$ by $- 2$ .

$y = - 0.5 - 0.5$

Subtract $0.5$ from $- 0.5$ .

$y = - 1$

Step 3

Substitute $- 1$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 0.25 (- 1) - 0.5$

Step 4

Simplify $0.25 (- 1) - 0.5$ .

Multiply $0.25$ by $- 1$ .

$y = - 0.25 - 0.5$

Subtract $0.5$ from $- 0.25$ .

$y = - 0.75$

Step 5

Substitute $0$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 0.25 (0) - 0.5$

Step 6

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0.25 (0) - 0.5$

Simplify $0.25 (0) - 0.5$ .

Multiply $0.25$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 - 0.5$

Subtract $0.5$ from $0$ .

$y = - 0.5$

Step 7

Substitute $1$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 0.25 (1) - 0.5$

Step 8

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0.25 (1) - 0.5$

Simplify $0.25 (1) - 0.5$ .

Multiply $0.25$ by $1$ .

$y = 0.25 - 0.5$

Subtract $0.5$ from $0.25$ .

$y = - 0.25$

Step 9

Substitute $2$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 0.25 (2) - 0.5$

Step 10

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0.25 (2) - 0.5$

Simplify $0.25 (2) - 0.5$ .

Multiply $0.25$ by $2$ .

$y = 0.5 - 0.5$

Subtract $0.5$ from $0.5$ .

$y = 0$

Step 11

This is a table of possible values to use when graphing the equation.

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ - 2 & - 1 \\ - 1 & - 0.75 \\ 0 & - 0.5 \\ 1 & - 0.25 \\ 2 & 0 \end{array}$
