Answer:

A- the slope is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -2

Explanation:

We can find the slope using this formula- y=mx+b

so, for this it looks like the y-intercept(the part of the line on the y-axis) is -2

The slop can be found by picking two points, in this case I will pick

(0,-2)(x1,y1) and (3,0)(x2,y2)

Now, you can divide
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

so, it would be 0-(-2)/3-0= 2/3

So your slope is 2/3 and your y-intercept is -2
