Graph y=-3x-3

Problem

y=−3*x−3

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=−3 which gives the starting point (0,−3) on the y-axis.

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

4. Plot a second point by starting at (0,−3) and moving down 3 units and right 1 unit to reach (1,−6)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,−3) and (1,−6) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=−3*x−3
