Plot the x- and y-intercepts to graph the equation. y=1/3x−1.

Answer:
The graph of given equation is shown below.
x-intercept is 3 and y-intercept is -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{3}x-1[/tex]
We need to draw the graph of given equation.
At x=0,
[tex]f(0)=\frac{1}{3}(0)-1=-1[/tex]
So, y-intercept is -1.
Equate f(x)=0 to find x-intercept.
[tex]\frac{1}{3}x-1=0[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{3}x=1[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3.
[tex]x=3[/tex]
So, x-intercept of the line is 3.
Plot these two points (0,-1) and (3,0) on coordinate plane and connect them by a straight line.
