Explanation:

Slope formula:
(y2)/(x2) -(y1)/(x1) =m

m = slope

Take 2 points from the table.

(-3, 5) and (-2, 2).

Add these points to the formula:


(2)/(-2) -(5)/(-3) =

Solve:


(2)/(-2) -(5)/(-3) =(-3)/(1)

Option 1 is correct.

Y-intercept is where x = 0.

On the table, it's showing at x = 0, y = -4.

The y-intercept equals -4.
