Question

if you were to have -3x + y = 1 , how would you go about doing that ?

Answer 1

Depends on what I wanted to do with it. What do you want to do with it?

Answer 2

Well , on the problem it shows a graph, but theres no way i can show it to you. but , here's the problem
Isaac collected data for an experiment. The water level of his experiment increased at a constant rate. Isaac could model his data with the equation -3x + y = 1. Which is the graph of Isaac's data?

Answer 3

Put it in slope-intercept form. That is put it in the form y = mx +b

Answer 4

What do you get?

Answer 5

rhonda?

Answer 6

you there?

Answer 7

Just a second .

Answer 8

So , would you do down 3 and over 3 ?

Answer 9

Did you write it in the y = mx+b form?

Answer 10

Yes.

Answer 11

And what is it?

Answer 12

well , it's kind of hard for me to explain , but I got the answer wrong , and I understand now . thanks.

Answer 13

It's y = 3x +1. That is a line whose y intercept is 1 and whose slope is 3/1. So choose the graph that crosses the y axis at 1 and from that point goes up 3 and 1 to the right.
