Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x

3
y
=
6
Put in slope-intercept form
y
=
m
x
+
b
:
Add
3
y
to both sides of the equation to make it positive:
x

3
y
+
3
y
=
6
+
3
y

x
=
6
+
3
y
Subtract
6
from both sides of the equation:
x

6
=
6

6
+
3
y

x

6
=
3
y
Divide both sides of the equation by
3
:
x
3

6
3
=
3
y
3

x

2
=
y
So
y
=

Answer:

y=1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since slope intercept form is y=, I first added x to each side to get x on the other side. Then I divided each side by 3 to get y, and ended up with y=1/3x+2 as my answer.

(hope this helps)
