Question

Plot the graph of the given equation: y=3x+1

Answer 1

Answer: used plot graph

Step-by-step explanation: sourced it with plot

Answer 2

The way to plot the graph is to find both x-intercept and y-intercept. (Unless if it's a polynomial function which you need to find vertexes. But this one is linear so no vertex.)

(1) - Find x-intercept, substitute y = 0

`y=3x+1\\0=3x+1\\-1=3x\\3x=-1\\x=-(1)/(3)`

Therefore, the graph intercepts x-axis at (-1/3, 0)

(2) - Find y-intercept, substitute x = 0

`y=3x+1\\y=0+1\\y=1`

Therefore, the graph intercepts y-axis at (0,1)
