Answer:

slope: -4/5

y-intercept: (0,9)

Explanation:

The slope is a numerical value that describes the steepness of a line and is usually determined by calculating the ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance (rise over run) between two points. The Y intercept is the one that isn't by the X. Its the only number that ends up by itself.
