y=3x+1
Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept
The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
, where m is the slope and b
is the y-intercept.
y=mx+b
Find the values of m
and b using the form y=mx+b
.
m=3
b=1
The slope of the line is the value of m
, and the y-intercept is the value of b
.
Slope: 3
Y-Intercept: 1
Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x
values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y
values.
Choose 0
to substitute in for x
to find the ordered pair.
Replace the variable x
with 0
in the expression.
f(0)=3(0)+1
Simplify the result.

Choose 1
to substitute in for x
to find the ordered pair.

Replace the variable x
with 1
in the expression.
f(1)=3(1)+1
Simplify the result.
Multiply 3
by 1
.
f(1)=3+1
Add 3
and 1
.
f(1)=4
The final answer is 4
