slope 1/3 and y-intercept (0, -6) and graph the line. Please show all of your w
y= mx+b
m= slope = 1/3
y intercept = -6
equation = y=(1/3)x-6
..
x intercept
plug y =0
x/3 = 6
x=18
(18,0)

Solution:As you know the slope-intercept equation is given by formula:
Y-Y1=m%28X-X1%29, m is the slope and m=1/3, while (X1,Y1) are the coordinates (0,-6), thus, our equation is:
%28y-%28-6%29%29=%281%2F3%29%2A%28x-0%29, simplify this equation
y%2B6=%281%2F3%29%2Ax, multiply both sides by 3
+3y%2B18=x, write it in standard form.
x-3y=18.
