How do you find the slope and intercept of #3x+7=0#?
2 Answers
The slope is 3 and the intercept is 7.
Explanation:
First off the equation should read
The values you are looking for are in the formula:
The slope is a ratio of how much
In the case of this formula,
The intercept is the value of
graph{3x+7 [-12.3, 16.17, -2.06, 12.18]}
Explanation:
#"subtract 7 from both sides and divide by 3 gives"#
#x=-7/3#
#"this is the equation of a vertical line parallel to the y-axis"#
#"passing through all points with an x-coordinate of "-7/3#
#"the slope is therefore undefined"#
#"the x-intercept "=-7/3" there is no y-intercept"#
