Hi
*[tex \LARGE\ Using \ the \ standard \ slope-intercept \ form \ for \ an \ equation \ of \ a  \ line \ y = mx + b ] 
*[tex \LARGE\ where \ m \ is \ the \ slope \ and \ b \ the \ y-intercept]
2/3x+y/3=-1/3
2x + y = -1
   y = -2x - 1  Slope m = -2 and the y-intercept is Pt(0,-1)
x-intercept when y = 0
   0 = -2x - 1
  2x = -1
   x = -1/2    y-intercept is Pt(-1/2,0)
