Question

What is one point on a graph for the equation y=-3x-1 and how do we substitute it?

Answer 1

use the slope intercept equation to find the slope and the y intercept

y = mx-b

m = slope

b = y intercept

m is the number before the x so -3 is the slope

and -1 is the y intercept

so a point on the graph would be the y intercept at (0,-1)
