We have to complete a table with some points (x,y) from the line that is represented in the graph.

To do that we choose a value of x and wee which value of y corresponds to that value of x in the line.

For example, we can do it for x = 1 as:

Then, we have one point for the table: when x = 1, y = -9.

We can repeat this process for some points of x:

x | y

-------------

-4 | 1

-3 | -1

-2 | -3

-1 | -5

0 | -7

1 | -9

2 | -11

We can see that for each unit increase in x, the value of y decreases by 2. This indicates that the slope is m = -2.

Also, for x = 0, y = -7. Then b = -7 is the y-intercept.
