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=3 which corresponds to the point (0,3)

3. Determine the slope m=−1/3 which represents the ratio of vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run).

4. Find a second point by starting at (0,3) and moving down 1 unit and right 3 units to reach (3,2)

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

Final Answer

y=−1/3*x+3
