What are the intercepts of #-y+3x=1#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts and the Cover-Up Method 1 Answer sente Dec 3, 2015 Plug in #0# for #x# or #y# to find that the #y# intercept is at #(0, -1)# and the #x# intercept is at #(1/3, 0)# Explanation: The #x# and #y# intercepts occur when #y=0# and #x=0#, respectively. When #x=0# we have #-y + 3(0) = 1 => y = -1# Thus the #y# intercept is at #(0, -1)#. When #y=0# we have #-(0) + 3x = 1 => x = 1/3# Thus the #x# intercept is at #(1/3, 0)# Answer link Related questions How do you use the cover-up method to solve for the x and y intercept?
