Answer:

It should be y=1/3x-1

Explanation:

equation without numbers: y=mx+b

M=Slope

B=Y-intercept

If you're looking for y you would do say on your x-axis it's 5 it would look like,

y=1/3x5-1

and then you're answer would be .65 as a fraction, I can't do that on my calculator.

Otherwise your answer would be y=1/3x-1
