Answer 1

\[\Large\rm y=\color{orangered}{m}x+\color{royalblue}{b}\]

We're given,\[\Large\rm \color{orangered}{m=-\frac{1}{3}}, \qquad\qquad \color{royalblue}{b=\frac{5}{2}}\]

Answer 2

Plug in the information they gave you! :)

Answer 3

Use the "slope-intercept" form of the equation of a straight line, as given by zepdrix, immediately above. What's your next step?
