Hi friends Can someone please explain how I would find the slope and y-intercept with this equation? x - y - 3 = 0

Respuesta :

You need to rewrite the given equation into the standard form of y = mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

x -y -3 =0

First add 3 to each side:

x-y = 3

Now subtract x from each side:

-y = 3-x

Rewrite the equation to get x in front of the 3:

-y = -x +3

Multiply both sides both the equation by -1:

y = x -3

Since x is by itself, the slope would be 1.

The y-intercept is -3
