Graph in slope intercept form: y = -1/3 x -2

This example uses the linear equation y = -1/3 x - 2 to demonstrate graphing from slope intercept form.
Slope Intercept form is:
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
In the example:
y = -1/3x - 2
m = slope = -1/3
b = y-intercept = -2

Thank you so much for your explanation, you saved the day!

Thank you

[@thethtarswe7734]

so the function is decreasing?

what is x+y=-3

[@cnhaver]

To look at x + y = - 3 in slope intercept form subtract x from each side. This gives y = - x - 3. Note that this is equivalent to y = - 1 /1 x + (- 3). Therefore the slope is -1/1 and the y-intercept is - 3.
