Graph this line:
y + 3 = -1/3(x - 1)
Click to select points on the graph.

Answer

To graph the line, first rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

Start with the given equation: y + 3 = -1/3(x - 1).
Distribute the -1/3: y + 3 = -1/3 * x + 1/3.
Subtract 3 from both sides: y = -1/3 * x + 1/3 - 3.
Simplify: y = -1/3 * x - 8/3.

The slope (m) is -1/3 and the y-intercept (b) is -8/3.

To plot the line:

Start at the y-intercept (0, -8/3).
Use the slope to find another point: from (0, -8/3), move down 1 unit and right 3 units to (3, -11/3).
Draw the line through these points.
