Answer:

y-intercept: -3.

Slope:7/5

Step-by-step explanation: Y-intercept: The line crosses the y-axis at y=-3.

Slope: If you start from the point on the y-axis, -3, and count up 7 units, you reach 4 and then count right 5 units to reach a part of the line which touches a point. You go up 7 and go right 5 units. Therefore, the slope is 7/5. You go up, or rise, 7 units, and go right, or run, 5 units.
