Given a table represents a linear relation between (x) and (y)

we will find the slope and the y-intercept

From the table, when x = -1, y = -4

and when x = 0, y = -3

We will find the slope as follows:


slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=((-3)-(-4))/((0)-(-1))=(-3+4)/(0+1)=1

And the y-intercept is the value of (y) when x = 0

So, the y-intercept = -3

So, the answer will be:


\begin{gathered} slope=1 \\ y-intercept=(0,-3) \end{gathered}
