General form of a line : [tex]Ax + By + C = 0[/tex]

The slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have

a slope [tex]\to m=-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] and y-intercept[tex]\to b=\dfrac{10}{3}[/tex].

Substitute:

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{10}{3}[/tex]     multiply both sides by 3

[tex]3y=-x+10[/tex]            subtract 3y from both sides

[tex]0=-x-3y+10[/tex]            change the signs

[tex]\boxed{x+3y-10=0}[/tex]
