Assume equation is:-
y = (- 1/2 ) x
This is the equation of a straight line.
Sample points that lie on the line are:-
(0 , 0) , (2 , - 1) , (8, - 4)
The line may now be drawn.

This is an equation for a line. Since its not a rational or reciprocal function, it does not have any restrictions. Therefore you can input any x values for this equation and get the corresponding y-values. So put any x values like x=1 or 100; any value will work for this equation!! Good Luck!

x = 2, y = -1/2*2 = 1
x = -1, y = -1/2*-1 = 1/2
x = 0, y = -1/2*0 = 0
x = 1, y = -1/2*1 = -1/2
x = 2, y = -1/2*2 = -1
x = 3, y = -1/2*3 = -1.5
x = 100, y = -1/2*100 = -50

start on the origin go down 1 and over to the right two.Repeat from that point if you are going to create a line using that eqution.

y=mx + c
y=(-1/2)x+0
this line should cut at the point (0,0)
