Question 19103: what would coordinates be for x=3y?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to change it into y=mx%2Bbform.
3y=x
Divide both sides by 3
y=1%2F3%28x%29
Your slope is 1%2F3 and your Y-intercept is 0
graph%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C%281%2F3%29x%29
So looking at your graph, you can see that the points that the line crosses are at (0,0), (3,1), (-3,-1), (6,2),(-6,-2) and so on.
How many points do you need? Just add 3 to the X value and 1 to your Y value.
Hope this helps!
