Sketch the graph of each line?

Question

-3x=y+1 

Answer 1

The equation is - 3x = y + 1

Write the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m  is slope and b  is y - intercept.

- 3x = y + 1

Subtract 1 from each side.

y = - 3x - 1

Compare the equation with slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

slope = - 3 and y - intercept is - 1.

y - intercept is - 1, so the line crosses the y - axis at (0, - 1)

Using slope find the next point.

Slope = rise/run = - 3/1

Start at point (0, - 1), move 3 units down and 1 unit right, then plot the point (1, -4).

Draw a line through these points.
