how do i put this in slop-intercept form?
x+3y-3=0
the answer is y= -1/3-x+1
how the heck do you get -1/3?
Favorite Answer
x+3y-3=0; add 3 to both sides
x + 3y = 3; subtract x from both sides
3y = 3 – x; change 3 – x to -x + 3
3y = -x + 3; divide by 3
y = -x/3 + 1
in front of the x is a negative 1 but we don’t always write the one. We have the fraction
-1x/3 which we can write as -1/3 x
so the equation is
y = -1/3 x + 1
solve for y
first add the 3 from both sides
then subtract the X from both sides
you are left with 3y= – x+3 right now m= -1
then divide 3 on both sides and then you get y= -1/3x+3
remember the coeffcient of x is -1 and when divide it by 3 you get -1/3
-x -x
3y-3=-x
+3 +3
3y/3= (-x+3)/3
y= -1/3x+1
First You Subtract x on both sides and you get: 3y-3=-x because positives and negatives cancel.
Then You Add 3 on both sides and you get: 3y= -x+3 because positives and negatives cancel.
Then You Divide by 3 on both sides to get y by itself and you get: y= -1/3x+1. I hope this gets the job done!
Peace Luck Love Life.
add 3 to each side, then
subtract x from each side, then
divide both sides by 3 (remember to divide each term by 3)
It’s just solving for y.
3y-3=-x+0
3y=-x+3
y=-x/3+1
y=-1/3(x)+1
