Explanation:

Standard form for equation of line:

y = mx + c

where m = slope,

c = y intercept.

now we have to arrange the equation to fit the standard form.


3y + 2x = 1 \\ 3y = 1 - 2x \\ 3y = - 2x + 1 \\ y = ( - 2x + 1)/(3) \\ y = - (2)/(3) x + (1)/(3)

From here, you can see the slope, m = -2/3 and the y-intercept, c = 1/3
