Answer:

The x-intercept is (3, 0)

The y-intercept is (0, -1)

The slope is 1/3

The equation of the line is


y=(1)/(3)x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph, the line intercepts the x axis at the point 3, and intercepts the y-axis at the point -1

The x-intercept is (3, 0)

The y-intercept is (0, -1)

The slope, which is rise/run is given as:


\begin{gathered} S=(-1-0)/(0-3) \\ \\ =(-1)/(-3) \\ \\ =(1)/(3) \end{gathered}

The equation of the line is now:

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept


y=(1)/(3)x-1
