You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you turn x-3y=-6 into slope-intercept form, you get x-3y=-6. -3y=-6-x. 3y=x-(-6) 3y=x+6. y=(1/3)x+2. The slope is 1/3. The graph is

1)
+x+-+3y+=+-6+
+-3y+=+-x+-+6+
Divide both sides by +-3+
+y+=+%28+1%2F3+%29%2Ax+%2B+2+
The slope is +1%2F3+

2)
+y+=+2x+%2B+b+
The y-intercept is +b+, but you
were not given a value to put in
