Question

Can someone help me find the slope and y intercept please? I'd really appreciate it.

y= -1/3x + 3
-x + 3y = 9

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is
y = mx + b
where m = slope, and b = y-intercept

Answer 2

slope is-1/3 n y intercept is 3

Answer 3

Standard form of a line with slope m and y-intercept c
\[y=mx+c\]
Let's compare this with the first equation
\[y=-\frac 1 3 x+3\]
Do you see any correspondence between the two equations? @unheard

Answer 4

Kind of, @ash2326
I'm honestly terrible at slope.

Answer 5

@shaik0124 Please don't give just answers, it won't help the user. Please explain how you got it

Answer 6

just compare two equations where m is slope and c is y intrcpt

Answer 7

ok aishwarya2326

Answer 8

I think I understand the comparing the equations.

Answer 9

good now corelate both n find values

Answer 10

I don't understand that o.o

Answer 11

\[y=mx+c\]
\[y=-\frac 13 x+3\]
if in the first equation, we put m=-1/3 and c=3
We'll get the second one, won't we?

Answer 12

Yes. @ash2326

Answer 13

So there you have m= slope =-1/3
and y intercept c= 3
That's comparing the two equations

Answer 14

Awesome, @ash2326 . Thanks so much. Could you help me with two more?

Answer 15

Yeah, I could. If they are similar, you should try them first

Answer 16

No, the whole thing is part of a small project, but I am no good in Math, excpecially in slopes, haha.

How would I graph the line in slope- intercept method? I just need to describe it.

Answer 17

OK, I'll help you,but first close this question and post it as a new question. That way more users can help

Answer 18

Awesome, okay.
