A. slope is rise/run. can count up 3 right 2. slope = 3/2
also by slope formula m = (y - y1)/(x - x1)

B. y-intercept is the y coordinate where the line crosses the y-axis.
See that it is at y = -4 on the graph?
To use the slope.. go backwards from the closest point (4,2) down 2 left 3 gets you to the next point (2,-1) then go down 2 left 3 again to get to y-intercept (0, -4)

C. y = (3/2)x - 4

How you get it is by putting in the values into the standard equation for a line; y = mx + b
m is slope and b is y-intercept.
