Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{3}x - 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]slope\ (m) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y\ intercept = -5[/tex]

Required

Determine the line equation in slope intercept

The equation of a line in slope intercept is:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = slope = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]b = y\ intercept = -5[/tex]

So, [tex]y = mx + b[/tex] becomes

[tex]y = \frac{1}{3}x - 5[/tex]
