Question 179182: Find the x- and y-intercepts and the slope
y=1/3x-1 Can you explain step by step please
Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
this is already in the best format y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
:
y=1/3x-1
:
so the slope is the number in front of x...and is 1/3
:
y intercept is -1 and is written as (0,-1)
:
x intercept is found by setting y to zero and solving for x
:
0=(1/3)x-1
:
(1/3)x=1
:
x=3.......so x intercept is 3 and is written as (3,0)
