Start with the given equation.

Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 3 to clear the fractions

Simplify

Multiply

Add to both sides.

Rearrange the terms.

Divide both sides by to isolate y.

Break up the fraction.

Reduce.

So the equation is now in slope intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is

note: the y-intercept is the point
