Answer 1

Let's check the slope of the line by counting how many units up/down and left/right.

Based on the graph, between two points (black dot), we have 1 unit down and 5 units to the right. Recalling the formula of slope, it is:

`\text{slope}=\frac{rise}{\text{run}}=(-1)/(5)=-(1)/(5)`

Therefore, the slope of this line is -1/5.

In addition, the x and y-intercepts of this line are both found at the origin (0, 0).

Using the slope-intercept form formula:

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ m=\text{slope} \\ b=y-\text{intercept} \end{gathered}`

the equation of this line is y = -1/5x.

To summarize, we have:

1. The slope of the line is -1/5.

2. The x and y-intercepts of the graph are the same.

3. The equation of the line is y = -1/5x. These can also be expressed as:

y + 1 = -1/5 (x - 5).
