Answer:

Slope = 1

y-intercept = 3

Explanation:

Since, slope of a line passing through two points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is given by,

Slope =
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Therefore, slope of the line passing through two points (0, 3) and (-3, 0) will be,

Slope =
(3-0)/(0-(-3))

Slope = 1

y-intercept of the line = distance between the origin and point of intersection of the line with y-axis

y-intercept = 3
