We have several methods to graph any linear equation.
00:05
The one we are going to use right now is the slope intercept form method.
00:10
We have the equation as x negative 3y equals 0.
00:14
And the slope intercept form is given as y equals mx plus b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.
00:24
So to get that form, we want to make y the subject.
00:26
So let's do one thing.
00:27
Let us subtract x from both the sides of the equation.
00:31
We get negative 3y equals negative x we now divide both the sides by negative 3 so we get y equals x over 3 that we can write as one -third of x we may also write it as plus 0 because it won't affect it but we'll have y equals plus y equals mx plus b form that's exactly slope intercept form.
01:01
So now if we compare these two equations, y equals mx plus b and y equals one third x plus zero, we get the slope that is m equals one third and the y intercept we get as zero because the value of b is zero after comparison...
