The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

Answer:

Graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
