Answer:

the x intercept is -3

or (-3,0)

Explanation:

the x intercept is the point where the line crosses the x axis. The y value is zero, while x is a number.

Therefore, we can make y equal 0 in the function y=1/3x+1, since the point will pass through the line.

0=1/3x+1

subtract 1 from both sides

-1=1/3x

multiply by 3

-3=x

Therefore the x intercept is -3.

As a point is (-3,0)

hope this helps!
