The slope is defined as the change in $\"y\"$ divided by
\n" ); document.write( "the change in $\"x\"$ . Also, when the equation is in the
\n" ); document.write( "form $\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"$ , $\"m\"$ is the slope. The y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "occurs where $\"x+=+0\"$ , so
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+m%2A0+%2B+b\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+b\"$ is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "Your equation is $\"y+%2B+3+=+-%281%2F3%29x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Putting it into the right form,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+-%281%2F3%29x+-+3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+-%281%2F3%29\"$ slope
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b+=+-3\"$ y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "I'll graph it, too
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-%281%2F3%29x+-+3%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
