    In slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b

    where m=slope

    b=y-intercept

    so get into slope intercept form

    x-3y=-6

    add 3y to both sides

    x=3y-6

    add 6 to both sides

    x+6=3y

    divide both sides by 3

    1/3x+2=y or

    y=1/3x+2

    y=mx+b

    m=slope

    slope=1/3

    Y = mx + b

    That is your goal

    x - 3y = - 6

    So first, subtract the x over to the other side

    -3y = - x - 6

    Then divide the whole equation by - 3

    y = 1/3x + 2

    This is now in the format of y = mx + b

    m: slope

    B: y-intercept

    m/slope: 1/3
