I knew that the y-intercept would be 1/3 of the way between -9 and -10, so I typed 9. and then held down the 3 key for about 6 seconds, but when I clicked "check answer", I received a frowny face and lost points. This disappointed me greatly, as I was certain that I held my 3 key long enough for the distinction that my answer is a repeating decimal to be made. Should I should hold it down longer next time?
