Answer:

Line is y = -3x + 3

Slope = -3

y-intercept = 3

Explanation:

Slope is the movement up or down, and left or right. Y-intercept is the point in which the line crosses the y-axis. In slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), m represents the slope, while b represents the y-intercept.

So since the line crosses the y-axis at positive 3, that will be the y-intercept. Now if we go from that very same point, and do rise/run, we'd move downwards 3 units and to the right 1 unit, to get our slope of -3/1 (it's written as just -3 though).

So now we plug it in: y = -3x + 3

Hope this helps you :)
