Answer:


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

Explanation:

We can see that the y-intercept is 2. This is because when
x=0,
y=2 (for this line). We can also use the
(rise)/(run) rule for this line. When the x increases by 1, the y increases by 3. Therefore, we know the slope is
(1)/(3). Putting all this information in slope-intercept form
y=mx+b, gives us the following.


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

There's your answer :) hope this helps!
