Answer:


-(1)/(3)

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Subtract x from both sides of the equation.

x - x + 3y = 10 - x

3y = 10 - x

Divide each term by 3.


\frac{3y}3y} = (10)/(3) + (-x)/(3)


y = (-x)/(3) + (10)/(3)

Rewrite in slope intercept form.


y = -(1)/(3)x + (10)/(3)
