why would it be easier to find the corresponding y-value for x=1/3 than for x=1/7 in the equation y= 6x+2

Because x=1/3 gives you 2 +2=4. If you use 1/7, you kind of get a messy answer (mixed fraction 6/7+2)

With x = 1/3, y = 6/3 + 2 = 4.
With x = 1/7, y = 6/7 + 2 = 2 6/7.
The second involves integers and fractions, whereas the first involves integers only.

Because 3 is a factor of 6 and you won't have to deal with fractions.

Well it is easier because you can close your eyes while solving this problem. You have to eye wide open for the other. .....Hihiih
