Question

It says to graph the following equations but i don't know how to solve the equations to get the coordinates in order to graph: Y=-1/3x

Answer 1

okay so the point-slope form of any equation/graph is y = mx + b
you don't have to solve anything, silly :)
m = slope = rise/run
b = y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis)
so, this equation says:
y = (-1/3)x + 0 right?
so...
m= -1/3
rise= -1 (down one)
run = +3 (right three)
y-intercept = 0

So....start with your y-intercept.
