Question

Graph the line -3x+1

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is a linear function so its graph is a straight line.

When x = 0, -3x +1 = -3(0) + 1 = 1.

So, the graph will pass through the point (0, 1) on the y axis.

The slope of the graph is -3 , negative, so the line will rise to the left.

When x = 2, -3x + 1 = -3(2) +1 = -5 ,

so, another point on the line is at (2, -5)

So, we can get the graph by drawing a line passing through the points (0. 1) and (2, -5)
