Graph each equation. 3y = x

검증된 단계별 안내

Rewrite the given equation \(3y = x\) in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\) by isolating \(y\). Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get \(y = \frac{x}{3}\).

Identify the slope \(m\) and the y-intercept \(b\) from the equation \(y = \frac{1}{3}x + 0\). Here, the slope \(m = \frac{1}{3}\) and the y-intercept \(b = 0\).

Plot the y-intercept on the coordinate plane. Since \(b = 0\), plot the point at the origin \((0,0)\).

Use the slope \(\frac{1}{3}\) to find another point. From the y-intercept, move up 1 unit and right 3 units to plot the second point \((3,1)\).

Draw a straight line through the two points \((0,0)\) and \((3,1)\). This line represents the graph of the equation \(3y = x\).

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Understanding Linear Equations

A linear equation represents a straight line when graphed on the coordinate plane. It typically has the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Recognizing that 3y = x can be rewritten into this form helps in graphing the line.

Slope and Intercept

The slope indicates the steepness and direction of a line, calculated as the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change. The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Identifying these from the equation allows for accurate plotting of the line.

Graphing on the Coordinate Plane

Graphing involves plotting points that satisfy the equation and connecting them to form the line. Understanding how to find points by substituting values for x or y and using the slope and intercept to guide the drawing is essential for visualizing the equation.
