Answer:

The y-intercept is 5

Slope= 3

Explanation:

To find the y-intercept you have to look at the y-axis and find the line that touches the y-axis that spot, where the line touches the y-axis, is the y-intercept.

To find the slope is to use rise/run, so let's start at the y-intercept how many times do you need to rise up to get to the next point that has a real coordinate

You rise up 3 times and run to the right 1 time

rise up 3 times: 3/run

run right 1 time: 3/1

3/1 is also 3 so the slope is 3
