Plot the x- and y-intercepts to graph the equation.

Question

y=13x−1.

Answer 1

To plot the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x:

0 = 13x - 1
1 = 13x
x = 1/13

Therefore, the x-intercept is (1/13, 0).

To plot the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y:

y = 13(0) - 1
y = -1

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -1).

Thus, we have the x-intercept at (1/13, 0) and the y-intercept at (0, -1).
