Question

Graph the equation on the coordinate plane
y=1/3x

Answer 1

well an easy way to start is by plugging in some x values

x = 0 gives us y = (1/3)*0 = 0, right? so (0,0), or the origin, is a point

Answer 2

x = 1 gives us (1/3)(1) = 1/3, right? so (1,1/3) would be the next point. you can keep going up with x values like 2, 3, 4... etc. or go down to -1, -2, -3, etc.

Answer 3

Like this?

Answer 4

1/3 is a bit lower than that haha

if it helps, try graphing x = 3 (which gives you 3,1) and then connecting (3,1) and (0,0)

Answer 5

if you only graph every three x-values (so x = -3, x = 0, x = 3, x = 6, etc.) you only have to deal with whole numbers
