Answer:

1st option

Explanation:

By observation, we can see that the graph crosses the y-axis at y = -2. Therefore the y-intercept is -2.

we can also see that the graph intersects the axes at (0,-2) and (3,0)

the formula for a linear slope when given two points (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) is given by :

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

In our case, x1 = 0, y1 = -2, x2= 3 and y2 = 0

hence m = (0 - (-2)) / (3-0) = 2/3

Hence the slope is 2/3

Only option 1 satisfies the values for both y-intercept and slope that we calculated.
