How do you graph # y=-3x+3#?

Answer 1

Eli Assouline

y=-3x+3
Three is the y intercept.
-3x is the slope.

On your y intercept, draw a dot on +3.

From the dot you just drew, draw the slope by doing rise/run.

Since the slope is -3x, go to the right once, and down three times (or, -3/1).

Continue this pattern on your graph.

To graph the equation y = -3x + 3, you can use the slope-intercept form, where the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 3. Plot the y-intercept at point (0, 3), then use the slope to find another point. Since the slope is -3, it means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 3 units. Connect the two points, and you have the graph of the line.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
