Answer 6

For the first equation, y = -1/3x + 3, this is in the form y = mx + b. Your slope is always the "m" value, so that is why the slope is -1/3. The y-intercept is the +b. That is y the y-intercept is 3

Answer 7

for the second equation, it's not in the form y = mx +b. So to get it in that form, you first add x to both sides to get 3y = x +9. Almost there. Divide both side by 3.

y = 1/3x + 9. So, the slope is 1/3, and the y-intercept is 9.

Understand?
