We are given a line that passes through the points (3,0) and (0,-2) (from the graph) from that information we can find the slope of the line using the following formula:


m=\frac{y_{2\text{ }}-y_1}{x_{2\text{ }}-x_1}

where


\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1);\text{ } \\ (x_2,y_2) \end{gathered}

Are the points through which the line passes. Replacing


m=(-2-0)/(0-3)=(2)/(3)

Since the intercept is the point of the line when x = 0, and the line passes through (0,-2), the intercept is -2.

The slope is 2/3 and the intercept -2
