Answer:

Slope: -3

Y intercept: (0, 9)

X intercept: (3, 0)

Explanation:

In the equation y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since the equation is y = -3x + 9, m is -3 and 9 is the y intercept.

So, the slope is -3 and the y intercept is at (0, 9)

To find the x intercept, plug in 0 as y and solve for x:

y = -3x + 9

0 = -3x + 9

-9 = -3x

3 = x

So, the x intercept is at (3, 0)
