Find the Slope and y-intercept 1/3x-5

$\frac{1}{3} x - 5$

Step 1

Write $\frac{1}{3} x - 5$ as an equation.

$y = \frac{1}{3} x - 5$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

$b = - 5$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $\frac{1}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, - 5)$

Slope: $\frac{1}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, - 5)$
