The x intercept is the value of x when y = 0

Given that x intercept = - 1, the coordinate is (- 1, - 0)

The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0

Given that y intercept = - 2, the coordinate is (0, - 2)

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

x1 = - 1, y1 = 0

x2 = 0, y2 = - 2

Slope = (- 2 - 0)/(0 - - 1)

slope = - 2/1

slope = - 2
