Considering the linear equation in slope-intercept form:


y=11.2x-1

The y-intercept of the line is the constant of the equation, in this case, the y-intercept is -1.

The slope of the line corresponds to the coefficient of the x-term, i.e. the value that multiplies x. For this line, the slope is equal to 11.2
