the equation is in the form of y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept.

the equation is y = (1/3)x - 2
the slope is (1/3)
the y-intercept is -2

The formula for the slope intercept is y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-axis intercept. Applied to your equation:
y = (1/3)x - 2
slope is 0.333 and the intercept is -2
