Answer is a
You need to find the y-intercept (aka b). You can do that by simply looking where the graph intercepts with the Y-axis.
b= 1 (positive 1 and not negative)
Now we need to find the slope by the following
Slope aka m: (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Note: sometimes people say it’s rise/run which is the same thing as the previous formula.
Pick two points that fall on the graph. I chose (0,1) and (3,-4). Even though there are no numbers you can assume each square is a unit and count the squares.
Slope = (-4-1)/(3-0) = - 5/3
