Question

Which of the following is not a step used when graphing the equation x + 3y = 3 using the
x- and y- intercepts method?

Answer 1

it's a linear equation , so what do you want exactly ? , it intercept y-axis in at 3

Answer 2

Actually it intercepts the y-axis at 1

to find the y-intercept...make x = 0

x + 3y = 3
0 + 3y = 3
-------
3 3

y = 1 This is your y-intercept

to find the x-intercept...make y = 0

x + 3y = 3
x + 0 = 3

x = 3 This is your x-intercept

Answer 3

sry u rigth i forgot to dvide by 3 :)

Answer 4

Plot the y-intercept (0, 1).

Plot the intercept (3, 0).

Count down 1 and right 3 from the y-intercept.

Draw a line through the two points.
those are my options and I have to choose whats not the choice so wouldn't it be the third choice?

Answer 5

If it is ONLY using the x and y intercept method...then you need not worry about the slope....so yes the third one :)

Answer 6

Okay Thank You (:

Answer 7

can you help me with another one?
