Write the equation of each line in slope intercept form. Explain I need help. slope= 1/3 y- intercept= 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since the \(y\)-intercept is \(5\), that means the line intersects the point \((0,5)\). Recall that for a generic line of slope \(m\) that passes through point \(x_0,y_0)\), the point-slope form (or slope-intercept form) of the equation of the line is given as follows.\[y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\]Using this information, can you reason out the slope-intercept form of the requested line?

Slight typo: "point \((x_0,y_0)\)"
