Answer:

  • slope: -5/4
  • y-intercept: 5

Explanation:

You want to know the slope and y-intercept of the line shown on the graph.

Slope

The slope is the ratio of "rise" to "run". Using the y- and x-intercepts we can see that the "rise" is -5 units for a "run" of 4 units.

slope = rise/run = -5/4

Intercept

As we have already determined, the line crosses the y-axis at y=5.

y-intercept = 5
