"Write an equation of the line with slope -1/3 and y-intercept -3."
The slope-intercept form of a line is: highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
Your m=-1/3 and b=-3, therefore:
y=%28-1%2F3%29x%2B%28-3%29
highlight%28y=%28-1%2F3%29x-3%29
You don't need parentheses in the written answer, but the computer wants them.
Happy Calculating!!!!
