Solution

The correct option is C 13 and 53
The equation of any straight line can be written as y=mx+c,
where m is its slope and c is its y - intercept.
x+3y+5=0 can be written as 3y=x5 or y=13x53
Comparing this equation with the standard form of the equation, we get:
m=13,c=53
Hence, slope of x+3y+5=0 is 13 and y - intercept is 53
