Given:

The points (0,3) and (2,0) lie on the line.

Required:

We need to find the slope and y-intercept of the given line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

The given line crosses the y-axis at 3.

y-intercept=(0,3).

Consider the slope formula,


slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)
Substitu\text{te }y_2=0,y_1=3,x_2=2\text{ , and }x_1=0\text{ in the formula.}
slope=(0-3)/(2-0)
slope=(-3)/(2)

Final answer:


slope=(-3)/(2)

y-intercept=(0,3).
