Math Problem Statement
y=-x+3
Solution
The equation you've provided is:
This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, , where:
- is the slope of the line, meaning the line decreases by 1 unit in the -direction for every 1 unit increase in the -direction.
- is the y-intercept, meaning the line crosses the -axis at .
To visualize it:
- If you plot this on a graph, the line will go through the point on the -axis.
- The line will slope downward, since the slope is negative.
Would you like to explore more details about this line, such as its graph or specific points on it?
