Answer:

The slope of the line is negative. The y-intercept is 5. The slope of the line is -2/3.

Explanation:

With 2 given points on the line that are whole numbers, you can find the slope of the line with the equation
m=(y2-x2)/(y1-x1). The answer will tell you whether it's negative or positive. For example,
m=(-2-1)/(4-0) =(-3)/(4). The slope is negative for the example. The y-intercept would be the point with 0 as the x-value: (0, -5).
