8) y = 1/3 x + 3

The equation represents a linear function in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

In this equation, the slope (m) is 1/3, indicating that for every 3 units increase in x, y increases by 1 unit.

The y-intercept (b) is 3, meaning the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 3).
