What is the slope and intercept for #y= -1/3x+1# and how would you graph it?

Answer 1

The slope would be #-1/3#, and the y intercept would be 1.

To graph, you would first place a point at 1. Then go down 1, and to the right 3. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

The slope of the line y = -1/3x + 1 is -1/3, and the y-intercept is 1. To graph it, plot the y-intercept at (0, 1), then use the slope to find additional points. For example, starting from the y-intercept, move 3 units to the right and 1 unit down to find another point. Repeat this process to plot more points, then draw a straight line through them to represent the graph of the equation.

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.
