Answer:

The first option

Explanation:

The slope m can be calculated using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 0) ← 2 points on the line

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

The y- intercept is the point on the y- axis where the line crosses, that is - 2

Thus slope =
(2)/(3) and the y- intercept is - 2
