Answer: Slope = 3
x-intercept = 0/3 = 0.00000
y-intercept = 0/-1 = -0.00000
Step-by-step explanation: y tells us how far up the line goes
x tells us how far along
m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is
b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis
The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line 3x-y = 0 and calculate its properties
Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 0.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 6.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 6.000 - 0.000 = 6.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)
Slope = 3
