Graph y=3x-1

Problem

y=3*x−1

Solution

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

2. Determine the y-intercept from the constant term b=−1 which gives the starting point (0,−1) on the y-axis.

3. Identify the slope m=3 which can be written as the fraction 3/1

4. Apply the slope to find a second point by moving up 3 units (rise) and right 1 unit (run) from the y-intercept, resulting in the point (1,2)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,−1) and (1,2) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=3*x−1
