To graph the equation
y = -1/3x + 5, follow these steps:

  • Plot the y-intercept: Plot the point (0, 5) on the y-axis.
  • Use the slope to find a second point: Since the slope is -1/3, you can interpret it as the ratio rise/run. This means that for every 3 units to the right, the line goes down 1 unit. So, from the y-intercept (0, 5), move 3 units to the right and 1 unit down to find a second point.
  • Draw a line through the two points.

The resulting line represents the graph of the equation
y = -1/3x + 5.
