Answer:

-3.00000

Explanation:

Slope = -6.000/2.000 = -3.000

x-intercept = -3/3 = -1

y-intercept = -3/1 = -3.00000

earrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

y-(-3*x-3)=0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line y+3x+3 = 0 and calculate its properties
