Answer: slope is 3, y-intercept is 2

Explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio at which the y value changes with respect to the x value. Since the entire line is straight, the slope at every single point along the line is the exact same. This means that we can find the slope at any point along the line and it'll represent the slope for the entire line.

When x = 0, the y = 2. Therefore we have the point, (0, 2). When x = 1, the y value is y = 5. Therefore, we have another point, (1, 5). The difference between the y values is:


5-2=3

The difference between the x values is:


1-0=1

Therefore, their ratio is:


3/1=3

The y-intercept is the y value at which the function intercepts the y-axis. That would be when y = 2
