1) You can graph this equation by using y=mx+b. You can replace that equation with y=3x-1.
M=3
X=x
B=-1
On a graph you would down 1 since it's negative and make a point. Then you would put a 1 under the 3 to make it a fraction. 3/1. Then you would divide 1 by 3 (1 ÷ 3). Then you would go to the right 0.33 because it's positive, and the up 1. Then you would make a second point.
This would only give you one line which wouldn't give you an intersection.
