Question

Can someone please help me with this problem??

Answer 1

The slope is -
`(1)/(3)` and the y intercept is 2.

Explanation:

So, we can see that the line moves down one unit every time it progresses to the right three times. Slope is defined by change in y/change in x. For this problem, the change in y is -1 and the change in x is +3, so the slope is
`-(1)/(3)`.

Now for the y intercept. The y intercept is the point where the line first passes through the y axis. In this case, it passes through 2. Your y intercept can be written in two ways; as a number (2) or as an ordered pair
`(0,2)`, although people usually write the number.

I hope this was helpful. Good luck!
