anonymous · Answer

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Plug them into the correct spots

tester97 · Answer

Yes that is correct what @ChmE said $$y=mx+b$$
is slope intercept form
Now, it says the slope of the line is $$-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }$$
And it also says the y- intercept is $$\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }$$

So if you combine all that information you would get this equation $$y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }x+\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }$$
Make sense?
