Question

Plot the x-intercept and y-intercepts to graph the equationy = 1/3x - 1

Answer 1

The equation is written in the slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

Where:

m = Slope

b = y-intercept

From the equation we can conclude that the y-intercept is:

$(0,-1)$

We can find the x-intercept as follows:

$\begin{gathered} y=0 \\ \frac{1}{3}x-1=0 \\ \frac{1}{3}x=1 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

The x-intercept is:

(3,0)

The graph is:

$undefined$
