If you would like to write x = 1/3 * y in general form, you can do this using the following steps:
The general form of the equation is: ax + by + c = 0.
x = 1/3 * y
x - 1/3 * y = 0
The correct result would be x - 1/3 * y = 0.
The value of "b" is the y-intercept.
In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6 (simplify)---> m= -4
2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)
3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.

Answer:
Let x rep the lenght of the shorter one
Then the longer one is 2x+1
Therefore
(2x+1) + x = 16
We now solve for x
2x + 1 + x = 16
Group and evaluate like terms
3x +1 = 16
3x = 16 -1
× = 15/3
x = 5
So the shorter one is 5 ft
The longer one is 2(5)+1= 11
