Question

Graph the equation by plotting points.

33. \( y = -3x + 1 \) This equation represents a linear function in slope-intercept form, where \( y \) is the dependent variable, \( x \) is the independent variable, the number -3 is the slope of the line, and 1 is the y-intercept. - **Slope**: The slope of -3 indicates that for every unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) decreases by 3 units. The negative sign indicates that the line slopes downward. - **Y-intercept**: The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 1). If graphing the equation, the line would start at the y-intercept of 1 on the y-axis and move downward with a slope of -3.
