Answer:

y=-1/3x+1

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y=mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In the given statement it tells us the point is (-3,1).

-3 is the x-intercept while 1 is the y-intercept

In the given statement it tells us the slope is -1/3

Plug in the m for -1/3 and the b for 1

y=-1/3x+1

Hope this helps.
