Find the intercepts and then use them to graph the equation y-3x=0
\n" ); document.write( "I have tried entering 0 into x and y but when i do that, but ordered pairs come out (0,0) and that doesnt work when i try graphing. please help!!
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x
\n" ); document.write( "you can now see that if x=0, y=0.
\n" ); document.write( "All this means is that (0,0) is a point on the line
\n" ); document.write( "Also, note that the slope of the line=3. This is a standard form of an equation for a straight line:
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "For given equation, y=3x, the slope=3 and y-intercept=0
\n" ); document.write( "To get a second point of the line to complete the graph:
\n" ); document.write( "starting from point (0,0), go up 3 units and 1 unit to the right (rise/run=∆y/∆x)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
