Answer:

Y-intercept= 4

slope= -1

Explanation:

Use slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept:

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

This equation is already in slope-intercept form so just find the slope:

since m is the slope and in the equation provided m would be x, we use our own knowledge knowing that x=1 so, the slope is -1.

now to find the y-intercept we look at the equation again, and since in slope-intercept form b= the y-intercept, in this equation 4 is the y-intercept.

Hope this helps!! <3
