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

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

Step 1.3

Reorder $2$ and $- \frac{x}{3}$ .

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

Step 1.4

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Step 1.4.1

Reorder terms.

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

Step 1.4.2

Remove parentheses.

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

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is $2$ .

$b = 2$

Step 3

y-intercept in point form.

$(0, 2)$
