What is 3y = 1 in slope intercept form, my teachers keep yelling at me and do not help me at all, please help.

y=1/3\nin fact, slope is zero because you don't have x\ny intercept is (0,1/3)\nthat's the line which passes through 1/3 on the y axis and is parallel to x axis

The first thing you want to do is find the slope. That is, the change in Y over the change in X (Rise over Run). Each of these points are in the cartisian coordiante system, thus (3,-7) and (-5,2) are of the form (x,y). So lets find the slope!\n(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)\nUsing (3,-7) and (-5,2)\n(-7-2)/(3+5)=(-9/8)\nYour slope is (-9/8)\nNext to find the intercepts you use the equation of slope intercept form, Y=mX+b where X and Y are points, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. We know the slope and some points so we need to solve for b., the y intercept. Lets use the point (-5,2).\n2=-5(-9/8)+b\n2=(45/8)+b\n(-29/8)=b\nSo the point for the y intercept is (0,-29/8)\nNow we want to find what x is when y is zero for the x intercept. \nAgain use Y=mX+b but this time we know what b is. Set y=0. \n0=X(-9/8)+-29/8\n29/8=X(-9/8)\n29/-9=X\nThus, the x intercepts is (29/-9,0)

The slope is zero, it is a horizontal line.  The equation is y=-3.\n\ny=mx+b is the slope intercept form where m is the slope and b in the place where the line crosses the y axis.\n\nSlope is rise over run. The is the difference in y's over the distance in x's.

The slope should be 3 over 1 or +3(rise over run)and the x and y intercepts would both be 0  (0,0). \n\nThis can be found by using the equation y=mx+b or by using a graphing calculator. The graph of the line in this case crosses exactly where the x-axis and y-axis cross (0,0).

y = (2/3)x + 3\nThis is in slope intercept form, y = mx + b\nm = 2/3 is your slope and b = 3 is the y-intercept.\nStart by placing a dot at (0,3)\nSince your slope is 2/3, that means you move up 2 and to the right by 3.  Place a new dot there.  You may repeat this step if you wish.  \nConnect the points with a straight line.

well to solve the first equation (its a line plot)\n3y+1[-1]=2x+16[-1]\n3y=2x+15\nif x=0, y=5 (y intercept)\nif y=0, x=-7.5 (x intercept)\n\nthe second line graph\n3y+5[+4]=2x\n3y+9=2x\nif x=0, y=-3\nif y=0, x=4.5\n\nNow, these lines are not equal, but do you have to plot both lines to prove? Your question is not clear.

If you have an equation that is Y=__X-__ or Y=__X+__, then the second space is the Y-intercept and the first space is the slope.\n\nSo, for your equation, Y=3X-5, 5 is the Y-intercept, and 3 is the slope.  The Y-intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis, which is 5.  So, on the Y axis (which is X=0), count up 5 spots and that is your intercept --> (0,5).\n\nThen you have to use the slope, which remember is the number in the space before the X --> 3.  3 is the same as the fraction 3/1, and in the fraction of a slope, the top (numerator) is how many spaces up or down you move from the original point, and the bottom number is how many spaces you move left or right from the original point.  So, your first point being (0,5), move up 3 and to the right 1 (up and right because both 3 and 1 are positive).  You should be at (3,6).  \n\nMaking an input/output chart makes plotting your graph a lot easier.  Make a chart with two rows, the top row being X and the bottom row being Y.  To the left of your chart, label X and label Y.  (So that you remember your slope, I would write X --> 3, Y --> 1).  Put your intercept point (0,5) in the chart: 0 to the right of X and 5 to the right of Y.  Now you can see that you just add the slope!  0+3=3 and 5+1=6.  So, your next point is (3,6)!  From there, keep going to the right, adding as you go.  Add another 3 to 3 and another 1 to 6.\n\nGood luck!

9x-6y+7=0  You change this to\n\n-6y=-9x-7  so it is in y=mx+b form.\n\nNext you divide by -6\n\ny=(9/6)x+(7/6)\n\n7/6 is your y intercept. (1.6666...)\nand 9/6 is your slope.  (1.5)\n\nTo find the x intercept you put 0 in for y\n\n0=(9/6)x+(7/6)\n(-7/6)=(9/6)x\n-7=9x\n-7/9=x\n\n-0.777...=x intercept

have the equation in slope intercept form except with a greater then or equal to sign or less then or equal to sign\nexample:  Y > Mx + B  then solve it like you would a normal slope intercept equation by solving for x... start by adding or subtracting b to Y and then divide the slope which is Mx from both sides and then you will get your x answer the greater or less then sign will change if the answer is negative it will face the opposite way from which it was if postive answer it won't change....... hope this helps......

2x + 5y = 15\n\nSo 5y = 15 - 2x\n\nSo y = 3 - 0.4x\n\n3 is the intercept. -0.4 is the slope

Sometimes I like math.  What you need to do is add 1 to both sides of the equation for x=3y-1\nyou will be left with (x+1)=3y you should then divide the 3 from both sides... afterwards you will have (x+1)divided by 3 equals y or (X+1)/3=y\nFor the other part x+2y=9 you should substitute (x+1)/3 for the "y"\nNow solve x + 2((x+1)/3)=9\nx+(2x/3) +(1/3)=9\ntake from there

The value of y at the y-intercept (b), which is the point at which the line intersects the y-axis, is -9, and the slope (m) is -3. Following, the y=mx+b or slope-intercept form, the equation is y=-3x-9.

Another form of the equation is the point-slope form. If you have two points, find the slope.\n\nm = (a2-b2)/(a1-b1) for points (a1,a2) and (b1,b2)\n\n  Then take one point (a1,a2) and plug it into the following:\n\n(y-a2) = m(x-a1)\n\nIt actually turns out to be the slope intercept form, but if your teacher will accept that form than it is easier since you can just leave it like that.

Equation of a line:  y = mx + b\n\nm = 3 (slope)\ny = -4 (y-intercept)\n\ntherefore:  y = 3x - 4 \n\nCrosses x-axis at y = -4 (0,-4)\nCrosses y-axis at x = 4/3 (4/3,0)

To find the y-intercept to the line satisfying the equation y = (2/3)x + 3, we set x = 0 to obtain y; that is,\ny = (2/3)(0) + 3 = 3.\n\nSo, the y-intercept is 3. (i.e., The given equation of the line passes through the point (0, 3) in the Cartesian plane. )

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b\n\nSo we rewrite the equation of the line as so:\n\nx - 2y = 5  , subtract x from both sides\nx - x -2y = 5 - x\n-2y = 5 - x  , now divide both sides by -2\n-2y/-2 = (5 -x)/-2\ny = -5/2 + x/2  , rearrange the left side\ny = x/2 - 5/2\n\nSo the slope (m) is 1/2.  Now we use the point given and the general equation.  From the point we know that x=2 and y=-4.  Sustitute these into the general equation.\n\ny = mx +b\n-4 = (1/2)2 + b  , do the math\n-4 = 2 + b ,subtract 2 from both sides\n-4 - 2 = 2 - 2 +b\n-6 = b\n\nSo the equation of the required line is:\n\ny = x/2 - 6

The Y-INTERCEPT of the line y = b is b.\n\nFor a y-intercept, you plug in 0 for the other variable, primarily x, but in this case, b.\n\nTherefore, if you plug it in, you receive:\n\ny = 0\n0 = 0\n\nThe y-intercept is 0\n\nPerhaps you should check by graphing, but I assure you that I am correct
