Question 31881: The directions say write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form with slope 1/3 that crosses the y-axis at (0,-2)
could I get some help?

The slope-intercept form looks like this:
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
You are given both the slope (m = 1/3) and the y-intercept (b = -2),so you just substitute these into the slope-intercept form:
