Answer with step by step explanation

To find the equation of the line from the given equation, you have to make y as the subject in the equation.

Let us find now.

x + 3y = -4

3y = -4 - x

3y = -x - 4

Divide the whole equation by 3.

y = -x/3 - 4/3

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

y = -x/3 - 4/3

And now we have to find the slope and the y - intercept of the line.

That is, we have to find the m & c of y = m x + c.

Here,

m ⇒ slope

c ⇒ y - intercept

So, to find it we have to find the values which were replaced with m & c.

Let us find now.

y = m x + c

y = -x/3 - 4/3

Now it is clear that, -1/3 & -4/3 are replaced with m & c respectively.

Therefore,

slope ⇒ -1/3

y - intercept ⇒ -4/3
