Answer: Choice B. slope = -1/2, y intercept = 1

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The line goes downhill as we move from left to right. This means the slope is negative. We can rule out anything that has a positive slope. The answer is between A and B.

We can rule out choice A because the y intercept is actually 1 (not 2) because it crosses the y axis here. The only thing left is choice B.

The slope is -1/2 because moving from (0,1) to (2,0) means we move down 1 unit and over to the right 2 units.

slope = rise/run = -1/2

rise = -1 indicates a drop of 1

run = 2 means we move to the right 2 units

-----------

You can use the slope formula to get the same result

I'll use the two points (0,1) and (2,0)

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

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

m = -1/2

You could use any other two points you want as long as they are on the diagonal line.

Answer:

Slope: -1/2 Y-intercept: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: The line goes across 2 units, for every 1 unit down, so -1/2

Y-intercept: The line intersects the Y axis at 1
