Find an equation in slope-intercept form of the line having a slope 1⁄3 and containing the point (3,4).
..
Equation of slope-intercept form: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given line, y=1/3x+b
All we need to do is find b to complete the equation.
To find b, plug in x & y from given point, (3,4), and solve for b.
4=(1/3)*3+b
4=1+b
b=3
Equation: y=(1/3)x+3 (ans)
