Given:

The slope is,


m=(1)/(3)

The y-intercept is (0, -8).

To find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

The general slope-intercept form of a line is,


y=mx+c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

So, substituting the values we get,


y=(1)/(3)x-8

Thus, the equation of the line is,


y=(1)/(3)x-8
