Find the slope and y-intercept of the equation.

y+3=-1/3x

3 answers

The equation of a straight line is :

y = mx + b

m = Slope

b = the Y Intercept

y = - 1 / 3 x - 3

Slope = - 1 / 3

Y Intercept = - 3
how would it be -3 on y intercept?
A y-intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects with the y-axis of the coordinate system.

As such, these points satisfy x=0

y(x=0) = - ( 1 / 3 ) 0 - 3

y(x=0) = 0 - 3

y(x=0) = - 3
