Answer:

please see detailed description below

Explanation:

equation on straight line is given by y = mx + c (where m is gradient-slope, c is y-axis intercept).

our slope, m, is found by picking two sets of coordinates.

let's pick the two dotted points on the diagram.

(-2 ,0) and (0, -3)

slope = (change in y values) / (change in x values)

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

= -3 /(0 + 2)

= -3 /2

the graph crosses the y-axis at y = -3.

the equation of the line is y = (-3/2)x - 3

the slope is -3/2
