Answer:

Explanation:

The general formula for slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

We can see that m (slope) equals 1/3 here. We can also see that the y-intercept (b) is -2. Another way to find the y intercept is to make x equal to 0. You get 0 - 2 which equals -2

Note:

If youre ever asked for the x-intercept, make y equal to zero and solve for x.
