Question 663421

graph linear function

{{{y= -3x - 1 }}}

find {{{x-intercept}}}:

set {{{y=0}}}

{{{0= -3x - 1}}}

{{{3x =- 1}}}

{{{x=-1/3}}}..........{{{x-intercept}}} is at ({{{-1/3}}},{{{0}}})...that is one point

find {{{y-intercept}}}:

set {{{x=0}}}

{{{y= -3*0 - 1}}}

{{{y= -1}}}..........{{{y-intercept}}} is at ({{{0}}},{{{-1}}})...that is second point

plot these two points and draw a line through


 {{{ graph( 600, 600, -10, 10, -10, 10, -3x - 1) }}}
