A) $y = - \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + 2$
B) $y = \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + 2$
C) $y = - 3 x - 2$
D) $y = 3 x - 2$
E) $y = - 3 x + 2$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, solve for y:
$$x - 3y + 6 = 0$$
$$-3y = -x - 6$$
$$y = \frac{1}{3}x + 2$$
The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. This equation matches that form with slope = 1/3 and y-intercept = 2. Therefore, the answer is B.
