Question

X+3y=0. Solve for y, then graph the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract x on both sides

$3y=-x$

Divide both sides by 3

$y=-\frac{1}{3} x$

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0

y = 0, therefore the function crosses the y-axis at the origin.

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0

x = 0, therefore the function crosses the x-axis at the origin too.

The slope of the function is -1/3, from the origin, go down 1 and right 3
