Answer

The slope is $-\frac{1}{3}$ The y-intercept is $0$ We can see the graph of the line $~~x+3y = 0$:

Work Step by Step

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is $~~y=mx+b~~$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. $x+3y = 0$ $3y = -x$ $y = -\frac{1}{3}x+0$ The slope is $-\frac{1}{3}$ The y-intercept is $0$ We can see the graph of the line $~~x+3y = 0$:
