Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y+3=-1/3x`?

Answer 1

slope `= -1/3`

y-intercept is - 3

Explanation:

The equation y = mx + c , the equation of a straight line , where

m= gradient (slope ) and c is the y-intercept .

Rearrange `y + 3 = -1/3 x` into this form

so `y = -1/3 x - 3`

and by comparison: `m = -1/3`

and y-intercept = - 3
