A: The graph should represent the line y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5. The line should have a slope of 1/2 and a y-intercept of -5.
B: Incorrect. 'y is twice x decreased by 5' translates to y = 2x - 5, which is not the same as y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5.
C: Check the table of values. For x = 2, y should be -4; for x = 4, y should be -3; for x = 6, y should be -2. None of these satisfy y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5.
D: Correct. 'y is five less than half x' translates to y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5.
E: Check the table of values. For x = -2, y should be 6; for x = 0, y should be 5; for x = 2, y should be 4. None of these satisfy y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5.
