Answer:

Slope: -1

Y-intercept: 2

Explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at 2. and the slope would be -1 since going down by one unit, and the line going down would mean that it is negative.

I hope it helps! Have a great day!

Answer:

slope = - 1 , y- intercept = 2

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with ( x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(0-2)/(2-0) =
(-2)/(2) = - 1

the y- intercept is the point on the y- axis where the line crosses , so

y- intercept = 2
