Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of y=−13x+3 . Then plot the intercepts to graph the equation.

Answer 1

The equation is already in slope-intercept form, which means the y-intercept is 3. To find the x=intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.

0 = -13x + 3

-3 = -13x

3/13 = x

Now plot your two points, (0,3) and (3/13,0) and connect them.

3/13 is approximately = .23
