Question

Y=3x-1 slope and y intercept

Answer 1

• Slope: 3/1
• Y intercept: (0,−1)

Answer 2

Answers: Slope = 3 and y intercept = -1

Reason

The given equation y = 3x-1 is of the form y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y intercept.

The slope tells us how to go from one point to another. In this case, we go up 3, and right 1. Think of 3 as 3/1.

The y intercept is where the graph crosses the y axis.

Extra info

• The line y = 3x-1 goes through (0,-1) and (1,2)
• The x intercept is (1/3, 0)
