You can put this solution on YOUR website!

do you mean find equation of a line that has a slope=1%2F3 and passing through passing through point (3,5)?
if yes, then:
y=mx%2Bb where m=slope and b=y-intercept
given:
m=1%2F3 and point (x,y)=(3,5)
use given to find y-intercept b
5=%281%2F3%293%2Bb
5=1%2Bb
5-1=b
b=4
so, your line is:y=%281%2F3%29x%2B4
