Answer:

  • slope: 1
  • equation: y = x +3

Explanation:

The slope of the line between two points can be found using the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (2 -0)/(-1 -(-3)) = 2/2

m = 1 . . . . . the slope of the line is 1

__

The value of the y-intercept can be found by solving the slope-intercept equation for b.

y = mx +b

b = y -mx

b = (0) -(1)(-3) = 3 . . . . . using point (x, y) = (-3, 0)

The equation of the line with slope 1 and y-intercept 3 can be written as ...

y = x +3
