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

Rewrite the equation as $y = \frac{x}{3} - 2$ .

$y = \frac{x}{3} - 2$

Step 1.3

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{1}{3} x - 2$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $\frac{1}{3}$ .

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