Question 462378: Graph and identify the y-intercept for y=3x-3

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

y = 3x - 3
slope = 3 or 3/1 {slope is rise/run}
y-intercept = -3 {where the line crosses the y-axis}

To graph:
- put a point on -3 on the y-axis {that is the y-intercept}
- from there, go up 3 and to the right 1 {slope is 3/1} and put another point
- draw a line through the two points
