Graph y=1/3x-3

Problem

y=1/3*x−3

Solution

1. Identify the equation type, which is a linear equation in slope-intercept form y=m*x+b

2. Determine the y-intercept by looking at the constant b which is −3 This gives the starting point (0,−3) on the y-axis.

3. Determine the slope m which is 1/3 This represents the "rise over run," meaning for every 1 unit you move up, you move 3 units to the right.

4. Find a second point by starting at (0,−3) and applying the slope: move up 1 and right 3 to reach the point (3,−2)

5. Draw the line through the points (0,−3) and (3,−2) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=1/3*x−3
