Not sure what does "Zero" mean. But I'll move with y-intercept, slope and slope intercept form.

The y-intercept is (0,4) because the graph passes through (0,4)

For the slope, look at the grid and the line, it's -2. Or we can solve this by using the ordered pairs.


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

(0,4) and (3,-2) both are the part of the graph, therefore.


m=(-2-4)/(3-0) \\m=-(6)/(3)\\m=-2

So the slope is -2 and for the slope intercept form, it must be the equation.

We know that m = -2 and b = 4 because b is the y-intercept from y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Thus,
y=-2x+4 from the y = mx + b.
