So then the linear function is y = f(x) = (-1/2)X - 3
y = g(x) = 1/2 * f(x) = (-1/4)x - 3/2
y-intercept is (-1/4)(0) - 3/2 = 0 - 3/2 = -3/2 ---> (0,-3/2)
x-intercept is (-1/4)x - 3/2 = 0 ----> (-1/4)x = 3/2 ----> x = (3/2)(-4) = -12/2 = -6
x-intercept is (-6,0)
(0, -3/2) on the line (-6,0) on the line
You can also graph (-4, -1/2) and (-2, -1)
