Slope-intercepts of graphs in the linear function

Question

a. Rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form by solving for y.

b. Give the slope and y-intercept

c. Use the slope and y-intercept to graph the linear function.

3x + y = 8

Answer 1

3x+y=8

y = -3x+8 is the equation in slope intercept form,

-3 = slope, 8= y intercept

y intercept is 8 which is the point (0,8) plot that point then draw a downward steeply sloped line through that point, it will have an x intercept of x=8/3 or the point (2 2/3, 0)

connect the y and x intercepts with a straight line, extend it both directions, put an arrow at the ends of the line to indicate it goes forever into the 2nd and 4th quadrants
