Answer:

First, we will use the slope intercept form: y=mx+b

The given slope is: m=1/3

The given point is: x= -3 and y=0

Second, plug the above numbers into the slope intercept form.

y=mx + b

0=(1/3)(-3) +b

Third, solve for b.

0= -1 +b

1 = b

b is the y intercept.

The y intercept is: (0,1)

The equation would be:

y=(1/3)x +1
