To complete the table for the function \( y = \frac{1}{2}x + 11 \) and then graph the function, we'll calculate the corresponding \( y \) values for each given \( x \) value.

### Step 1: Complete the Table

The function given is \( y = \frac{1}{2}x + 11 \).

1. **When \( x = -10 \):**
   \[
   y = \frac{1}{2}(-10) + 11 = -5 + 11 = 6
   \]

2. **When \( x = -8 \):**
   \[
   y = \frac{1}{2}(-8) + 11 = -4 + 11 = 7
   \]

3. **When \( x = -4 \):**
   \[
   y = \frac{1}{2}(-4) + 11 = -2 + 11 = 9
   \]

4. **When \( x = -2 \):**
   \[
   y = \frac{1}{2}(-2) + 11 = -1 + 11 = 10
   \]

### Completed Table:

| \( x \)  | \( y \)  |
|----------|----------|
|  -10     |   6      |
|  -8      |   7      |
|  -4      |   9      |
|  -2      |  10      |

### Step 2: Plot the Points on a Graph

- Plot the points \((-10, 6)\), \((-8, 7)\), \((-4, 9)\), and \((-2, 10)\) on a Cartesian coordinate plane.
- Draw a line through these points to represent the linear function \( y = \frac{1}{2}x + 11 \).

### Graph:

1. On the x-axis, mark points from \(-10\) to \(0\) (and beyond if needed).
2. On the y-axis, mark points from \(0\) to \(10\) (and beyond if needed).
3. Plot the calculated points and connect them to form the line.

### Related Questions:

1. How do you find the slope of the line from the equation \( y = \frac{1}{2}x + 11 \)?
2. What is the y-intercept of the line, and what does it represent in this context?
3. How would the graph change if the slope were negative?
4. What is the x-intercept of this function, and how is it calculated?
5. How does the line's slope affect its steepness?

**Tip:** A positive slope means the line rises as \( x \) increases, while a negative slope means it falls.
