Question

What is the graph of the function rule, y=1/3x-1 ?

Answer 1

It will start with the y-intercept on -1 on the y axis, and continue up slowly with a positive slope of 1/3. Slope is rise over run so you will go up one point and then to the right three. It will be linear.

Answer 2

Remember that the general equation of the line is y=mx+b

b is the point where the line is going to cut the axis of "y"
