Help me answer intercept of lines!

Question

So identify the y-intercept and the x-intercept and the slope of the line.

In my graph the y-intercept is touching -3 down in bottom left corner. The X-intercept is touching 1 literally on the X line next to 0.

Please help me!!

Answer 1

I think this might help: in a graph with an x-axis and y-axis, there are four sections (called quadrants). Top right, top left, bottom left, and bottom right. 0 is always 0 - there's no difference between 0 and -0 (so it's easier to always use 0)

In your question, you've said that the y-intercept is (0, -3) and the x-intercept is (1, 0). If that's right, then the slope is (change in y) / (change in x).

change in y = 0 - (-3) = 3

change in x = 1 - 0 = 1.

So the slope is 3/1 or 3.

Answer 2

the y intercept is on the x axis with a point (0,y) the x intercept is on the y axis with a point (x,0)

slope = -y/x

You seem to be saying (1,0) is the x intercept, and maybe you're saying (0,-3) is the y intercept?

if so the slope is 3 "rise over run" y coordinate increases by 3 as x increases by 1, slope = 3/1 = 3

"down in the bottom left corner' though sounds unclear or ambiguous
