Answer:
-3.000
Explanation:
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
y-(-3*x+7)=0
STEP1:
Equation of a Straight Line
1.1 Solve y+3x-7 = 0
Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).
"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on the 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-7 = 0 and calculate its properties
Graph of a Straight Line :
Calculate the Y-Intercept :
Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 7/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 7.00000
y-intercept = 7/1 = 7.00000
Calculate the X-Intercept :
When y = 0 the value of x is 7/3 Our line therefore "cuts" the x-axis at x= 2.33333
x-intercept = 7/3 = 2.33333
Calculate the Slope :
The slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 7.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 1.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 1.000 - 7.000 = -6.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)
Slope = -6.000/2.000 = -3.000
Geometric figure: Straight Line
Slope = -6.000/2.000 = -3.000
x-intercept = 7/3 = 2.33333
y-intercept = 7/1 = 7.00000
Hope this helps!
