    By rearranging the equation, the slope can be directly read from it.

    You said - x + 1/3 y = 5

    Add 'x' to each side: 1/3 y = x + 5

    Multiply each side by 3: y = 3x + 15

    This form of the equation is the so-called "slope / intercept form",

    because the numbers on the right side are the slope and intercept

    of its graph.

    When the equation is graphed, the y-intercept of the line is 15,

    and the slope of the line is 3 y-units per x-unit.
