The required graph is

Step by step solution

Given Information :

Given equations are, $y = - \frac{1}{2} x$ and $y = - \frac{1}{2}$ .

Plot graph for the equation y=-12x:

The first equation, $y = - \frac{1}{2} x$ has both x and y. The y - values depend on the x - values, so the y - coordinate will change with respect to the x - values.

$x$	$y = - \frac{1}{2} x$	$(x, y)$
$- 2$	$y = - \frac{1}{2} 脳 (- 2) = 1$	$(- 2, 1)$
$- 1$	$y = - \frac{1}{2} 脳 (- 1) = \frac{1}{2}$	$(- 1, \frac{1}{2})$
$0$	$y = - \frac{1}{2} 脳 0 = 0$	$(0, 0)$
$1$	$y = - \frac{1}{2} 脳 1 = - \frac{1}{2}$	$(1, - \frac{1}{2})$
$2$	$y = - \frac{1}{2} 脳 2 = - 1$	$(2, - 1)$

On plotting the points of the above table on the graph, we get a slanted line for the first equation,

Plot graph for the equation y=-12:

The second equation $y = - \frac{1}{2}$ has a constant y-value for all the values of x.

$x$	$y = - \frac{1}{2}$	$(x, y)$
$- 2$	$y = - \frac{1}{2}$	$(- 2, - \frac{1}{2})$
$- 1$	$y = - \frac{1}{2}$	$(- 1, - \frac{1}{2})$
$0$	$y = - \frac{1}{2}$	$(0, - \frac{1}{2})$
$1$	$y = - \frac{1}{2}$	$(1, - \frac{1}{2})$
$2$	$y = - \frac{1}{2}$	$(2, - \frac{1}{2})$

On plotting the points of the above table on the graph, we get a straight horizontal line for the second equation,

Combine the two graphs :

On combining the graphs of given pair of equations, we get,
