Question

graph the equation and identify the y-intercept y=1/3x

Answer 1

No y-intercept for this equation.

Answer 2

how do you write that as a ordered pair?

Answer 3

If you plug in 0 for x, you will dividing by zero. This is undefined. The y axis is an asymptote for this graph.

Answer 4

You can't. The graph never crosses the y axis.

Answer 5

I fell like an idiot because I do not understand what you are telling me

Answer 6

What part do you not understand?

Answer 7

Plug x for y?

Answer 8

Plug in 0 for x. So, instead of 1/3x you have 1/3*0 which is equal to 1/0 which is undefined. You are not allowed to have a zero in the denominator.

Answer 9

Again, to find a y-intercept, you substitute a 0 for the x and solve for y.
