x + 3y = 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to put this in the slope intercept form...y=ax + b . Then graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which line a,b,c,or d?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

x + 3y = 3 Subtract x from both sides. 3y = -x + 3 Now divide 3 from both sides. y = 3x + 3 That should help you.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

If you are talking about a graph, use an online grapher or GeoGebra to help you. Or just match the slope and intersection point of the y-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats the thing I don't quite get graphs.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

y = 3x - 3 Sorry :P

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Ok, well first which is the only line that crossing -3 on the y-axis?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

that is crossing*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

But the thing is that the slope is 0, which isn't right. So I don't quite understand the answers. Your closest guess is D.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

The slope should be 3, according to m. on y = mx + b

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

That would only apply to a and b but neither cross -3 on the y-axis.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Imo there is no right answer given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm ok.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Actually the slope isn't even 3 on a or b, so D is the closest guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was A

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Lol wutte. Ok then. x3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x + 3y =3 Subtract x from both sides 3y = - x + 3 Divide both sides by 3 Each item y= -1/3 x +1

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Ooooh I didn't do the second step correctly. My bad.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Now it makes sense. :|

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

The slop should still be 3, though. Not 1.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Pff, it was A. :P
