Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the following linear equation. Express the y-intercept as a coordinate pair.y=3x

Answer 1

Given the equation of the line:

$y=3x$

You can identify that it has this form:

$y=mx$

This is the form of a line that passes through the Origin, where "m" is the slope of the line.

In this case, you can identify that:

$m=3$

Since it passes through the Origin, the y-intercept as a Coordinate Pair is:

$(0,0)$

Hence, the answer is:

• Slope:

$m=3$

• y-intercept:

$(0,0)$
