imstuck · Answer

As long as the equation is in slope-intercept form, the slope is the letter "m" in the
equation y = mx + b.  The "b" is the y-intercept and the m is slope.  In your equation, the -1/3 is in the "m" position.  See that?  From this equation, you could graph the line.

So it's my slope it's 3?

imstuck · Answer

No, the slope is -1/3.  That is the coefficient for the x which indicates the slope of the linear equation.  What, then, is the slope of the line y = 4x + 3?

anonymous · Answer

$$y=mx+b$$
$$m=slope$$

So what is paired with x? It's -1/3
