Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Step 1.2.1

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{x}{3} + 4$

Step 1.3

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 4$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Step 2.1

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

$b = 4$

Step 2.2

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $\frac{1}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, 4)$

Slope: $\frac{1}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, 4)$
