Question

What is the equation of the line? y=13x y=−13x y = 3x y=−3x

Answer 1

Hi!

I am not completely sure what you mean but if you are looking for the slope of a line here is the best way to find it.

Y=Mx+b

it look difficult but really it's quite easy and once you get it it's super memorable. Y will always be Y that doesn't change. The M is the slope of the line (don't let equations confuse you with different letters! the M might be different but it is always the letter next to x) and b is the y intercept (where the line crosses y). All you need to find the slope of a line is 3 points. I see here you have a graph. So what you do is count how much it's moving up each block on the graph. I would say your slope is about 1/3. Y is really easy! just find the point it crosses the y axis(horizontal axis or the one going up and down) for yours it's 0. So your answer is y=1/3x+0
