Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of 1/3 and has a y-intercept of 5.

Answer 1

y = 1/3x +5

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of an equation is

y= mx+b

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

y = 1/3x +5

Answer 2

y = 1/3 x + 5

Explanation:

A line in slope-intercept form is written like y = mx + b, where:

"x" and "y" show points that can be on the line

"m" is the slope

"b" is the y-intercept.

If the slope is 1/3, then:

m = 1/3

If the y-intercept is 5, then:

b = 5

Substitute "m" and "b" values into the general equation.

y = mx + b

y = 1/3 x + 5
