identify the slope and the y-intercept of the equation y = -1/3x + 3
Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method.

Question

harsimran_hs4 · Answer

y = mx +c is the equation of straight line
where m = slope 
and c = intercept on the y axis

(basic known result)
can you figure out now?

anonymous · Answer

so -1/3 is the slope? and 3 is the y-intercept?

e.cociuba · Answer

slope= -1/3x 
y-intercept=3

anonymous · Answer

but how would you graph it using the slope-intercept method?

e.cociuba · Answer

you go up to (0,3), and then go up 1 and to the left 3

e.cociuba · Answer

do u get it??

anonymous · Answer

so to make it into a coordinate you just make 0 your x? if so then i get it :)

e.cociuba · Answer

yes im pretty sure:)
