To graph the equation 1/3 = 3(x+ 4), we need to rearrange it into the standard form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Start by distributing 3 to (x + 4):
1/3 = 3x + 12
Now, isolate x by subtracting 12 from both sides:
1/3 - 12 = 3x
-35/3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3:
-35/9 = x
The equation is now in the form y = mx + b, so the slope is 0 and the y-intercept is -35/9.
The graph will be a straight line parallel to the x-axis and passing through the point (0, -35/9).
Graph the equation.
1/3 = 3(x+ 4)
