Is the equation y=3x in slope-intercept form? Explain. The equation y=3x in slope-intercept form. Question 2 The slope is and the y-intercept is a .

Respuesta :

Given:

The given equation is

[tex]y=3x[/tex]

To find:

Whether the given equation is in the slope intercept form or not, then find the slope and y-intercept.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a linear function is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]            ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

[tex]y=3x[/tex]    

It can be written as

[tex]y=3x+0[/tex]               ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]m=3,b=0[/tex]

Therefore, the given equations is in slope intercept form. The slope of the line is 3 and the y-intercept is 0.
